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.

6915 Time For Me To Ride Keith, Toby
C:\Karaoke\Copy of 0003-15.kma

This is what it says on the list. I check Hoster and its the right song and plays the song listed.

What did I miss?

I looked at the cd and it is the right song. How is this a duplicate?
ugh.. Im confused

This is what concerns me "Copy of 0003-15.kma"!! Is there another file in the same folder that is just named "0003-15.kma"?? If so there is your duplicate.
If not and this is the only copy in the folder then it isn't actually a duplicate. Back when all the problems were going on with the disappearing song files in versions 3.318 and 3.319 I think this problem was occuring too but was overlooked. Whatever they changed to fix the missing files also fixed this to keep it from occuring again. However if it had already happened their fix did not fix the files themselves.
So if you do not have 2 copies of the KMA file(s) in the folder as I asked in first paragraph, then you need to re-import those files to correct the header so it is no longer recognized as a duplicate the next time you rebuild.

If you have 2 copies of the same KMA (0003-15.kma and Copy of 0003-15.kma) in the same folder, when the database is built it will see 2 files that have the same BookID in the Header of the file. The second copy is then seen as a duplicate. If those copies are also on the second computer then you will also have "duplicates" and need to delete them as well.
After you have deleted all the "copies" then rebuild your database to make sure no more show up.
