If you don't keep track of what BookIDs you have used then if you re-use them it is going to cause problems like this.

i moved the new imported tracks to the other pc hit ADD and boom most of the book is the same and some of it is all messed up...

I have 64 duplicate book ID... HOW DO I fix this issue.. i tried to read but every time I have fixed something in the past.. I make it worse!

The add fixes all the duplicate BookIDs. Delete the "BuildSongDBLog.txt" file in C:\MTU\Hoster and run the Add again. It should not show any again.
If it still does then delete your songs.mdb and songs_backup.mdb files in the same location and Rebuild the database.

I do have duplicate IDs apparently. I had this exact problem last time

i read the manual but can not figure out how to fix the duplicats and the now mesed up book

[ddouglass]

Go through all the ones in the "BuildSongDBLog.txt" and reimport the individual songs listed as duplicates. That is what I had to do a while back when these problems happened. I don't know what caused it but I had about 15 that did this and I am very careful to have the full list in all of my systems so it doesn't happen because of me.
After you do that then delete the datbase files and rebuild. That should fix it.

so if it says its a duplicate re import it? what happens to the song that is in that spot or do i make up a custom cd ID and iposrt them all on the fake custom slot?

Are your duplicates entire discs (meaning every song on the disc listed as a duplicate) or sporadic individual songs from many different discs?
If it is whole discs then you have genuine duplicates. In that case ignore the following instructions. But if they were whole discs then the Add should have cleared it up.
If this is what I think it is and you say they have been there a while then this will put those songs back in the correct location (bookid) and eliminate the duplicate change. It was a glitch sometime back (no cause ever found) that cause false duplicates. It happened once and I have never seen it since. I had from 10-15 of them. Re-imported back in their normal location and have not had any problem with them since.
Try it with a few, delete or rename the log file and rebuild again to see if those show-up again.
