From my testing it you can't add the same folder twice. So unless anyone can contradict that then assume I'm right.
But if you had a folder duplicated an exact copy meaning you had 2 separate folders but they both had the same song files in. Like if you had a backup folder listed, then yes you could get duplicated songs.
If you do find a file like this listed in the folders list, select it and click the exclude folders button, this will remove all those files from the list but will not delete them from the hard drive so can always be replaced by using the add files button again.

I don't think that problem will exist if you are using 5.05 or 5.06
When you first run Hoster 5.05 or 5.06 from an earlier version it automatically rebuilds the database, so if you haven't done anymore editing in access since using these versions you won't loose any of the info that exists in the database as it is now. So rebuilding it should not be a problem.

Are the XYZxxxx files exact duplicates of another proper Disc id Example:(CB60845)
Or were they created originally because you did not enter a disc ID ?
If they are exact duplicates, can you load both into the playlist and both play OK ?
One other point are all your files kma or are they a mix of kma and kmh types. ?
