Duplicate finder

Overview

The duplicate finder scans your library for likely duplicates — the same track added more than once, whether from different platforms, from repeated imports, or with slightly different metadata that prevented auto-merging.

How it works

Most of the time, duplicates are caught before they happen — TrackDen’s cross-platform matching auto-merges high-confidence matches on import. The duplicate finder is for the cases that slipped through:

• Tracks added separately at different times that weren’t auto-matched.
• Slight naming variants (Track Name vs Track Name (Original Mix)).
• Manual additions that overlap with imported tracks.

Reviewing duplicates

Open the duplicate finder from your library. It groups likely duplicates side-by-side so you can compare title, artist, sources, prices and any custom metadata at a glance. For each group you can:

• Merge — combine the entries into one library entry with multiple sources, preserving the union of their metadata.
• Keep separate — mark the group as intentional so it stops surfacing in future scans.

When to use it

• After a bulk track search or large platform sync.
• After re-importing a playlist from CSV.
• If you spot the same track twice in a playlist.
• Periodically as part of a library tidy-up.
