Are you sorting the list before you delete? I believe one of the users mentioned something about that. If you don't sort the list, then it worked OK for him.

Yes, I am sorting the list (alphabetical order) to see the duplicates, then deleting them, then re-sorting to see if they're gone. They are not.

Try it without sorting. Let us know if it works.

Mark, thanks......it appears you can delete if you DON"T sort first.

The default view really ought to be alphabetical anyway as how would you browse a long list of songs from one of your regulars?

I don't think the default is sorted at all. It is just in the order they were entered. Problem in sorting would be you want it sorted by title and somebody else would want it sorted by artist.

Although I can't imagine too many singers singing a whole bunch of songs from a whole bunch of artists. Title would be best. I have meny come to me and say "Show me what I've sung". No one has ever said "Show me who I have sung by".

Hi Steve

Check your singer list with your play list to see what songs where deleted while this delete problem was going on.

Because every time you highlighted a song and it didn't delete that one, it deleted another song in your list.

You may not have noticed so check it and re-select those missing songs if there still in your playlist.

If you print the singers database file like I do then you could reference that way to recover.

Good Luck

Joe......
