Stop Duplicates from Ruining Your Gig: Rekordbox 'Find Duplicates' Vs. Rekordbox Collection Tool

[@kendrickjarias]

thank you sir, much appreciated

[@djdexradio]

you're awesome! thank you for the tip!

[@sergetre]

Looks like an amazing tool

[@HartogLeon]

Very interesting! How does the tool determine which version is the one that will remain? And... How 'alike' do the tracks have to be to be seen as a duplicate, apart from length? (They can be from a different source or be mastered differently.....). In your demo the tracks have the same origin, that must make it quite easy.

[@MixMasterG]

Audio in the tracks must be identical, no room for grey area or there will be too many false positives. You can select the preferred audio format / bitrate for the master track as demonstrated

@@MixMasterG OK, very clear

Hi there! I just bought RCT and I did my first scan.By mistake I had both installed rekorbox 6 and 7.I realised when you opend the RCT app it's saying "checking rekordbox 6 database" .How am I changing that to 7? Cause I found out that it's missing some duplicates that if I understand right I added in version 7. I deleted rekordbox 6 by the way but it still checking rekordbox 6 database. Thank you so much!

[@MixMasterG]

Rekordbox 6 and 7 use the same database so no problem there.

@@MixMasterG Thank you very much for your fast response. I did the healing process 3 times and the last one I used metadata as well but I’m still finding a lot of duplicates … any thoughts of that ? I did step by step what you’re showing in the video , I don’t know what I m doing wrong … should I do the process again and again?

@@donkeydustcom Tracks need to have the exact same audio fingerprint (=same audio in the first 2 mintues) and tracklength, if you use the metadata then title, artist (case sensitive) and tracklength should be the same in order for tracks to be deemed duplicates. You only need to scan once, unless new tracks are added to the collection. If RCT doesn't find certan duplicates, then they don't match the criteria above. see also kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXPCaH1rlqx7d5Y

Dag Nabbit this Tool is fantastic, just clicked you like to Buy and it says MacOS only :( Are we likely to see a Windows version in the near future, guessing all your Apps are just for Mac?

[@MixMasterG]

One of the questions I'm frequently asked is, "Will there ever be a Windows version of my tools?" To be completely candid, the answer is a firm "no." This decision isn't motivated by any operating system preferences; it's a much simpler matter. The majority of support inquiries I receive are related to the operating system rather than the application itself. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Windows is limited compared to my expertise in supporting macOS. While I recognize that making my tools available on Windows could benefit many artists and potentially increase revenue, I've had to make a choice due to my resource constraints. I've chosen to prioritize maintaining a strong reputation for going the extra mile to support users of my tools, and I simply can't provide that level of support on the Windows platform.

@@MixMasterG Sad to hear but fair enough, thanks for all you do for the community anyway :)
