Title: Re-indexing: The solution to eliminating duplicate media files?
Post by: G W MacLeod on January 25, 2023, 04:39:58 PM
Duplicate files (tracks) appear in numerous media folders, but no duplicates appear iTunes Library.
Apple technicians advise to "re-index" the media folder. How is that done?
Comments welcomed.
