Thanks,

That's the way it is supposed to work. I had ten or so that I had to re-import because they had given me an error and they were also listed in the duplicate list, so if that is what happened then no it won't work. Only one way to find out....try it.

I found that if more than 2 songs end up with the same bookid, then the merge/add doesn't work. It happened to me when I was first starting out & had a couple different places I was importing to then brought them all into the same folder.

I think we had this discussion before Ernie and these files had errors other than being a duplicate. You will have to re-import those to correct them.
