Huge issue

[gotrich]

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

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.

my dubs are all over different cds.. not sure hoe I got them. I dont mean to be stupid but what do i do. lets say my file says I have a dub at 123-01 do i take that track form the cd and reinmort it? Wont theat just make a different duplicate?

How do i get rid of the duplicates? how do i fix them? and then to get the sam tracks on the back up machine should i delete the hoster folder with all the back up file and book file and key file all those and just rebuild?

Reimport the individual songs. When you do this it will over-write the existing file which will remove the file that is a duplicate.
When you bring up the disc list in the Import CD screen it will list all the songs and show they have already been imported. This will also show the correct BookID for the disc.
Select the track that you need to re-import and do so.
