How to delete songs in media player duplicate?

I saw an answers on how prevention, but that did not help me.

In WMP, please enable the column path, right click on a column heading (for example, title) and select choose columns.

So now you take two duplicate songs and compare their paths, are the same or different paths? If they are different, what are the exact paths?

  • Windows Media Player duplicate songs shows, does not show album titles or art of Seagate NAS Media Server

    I just bought a Seagate BlackArmor NAS 110, copied my music to her collection (a big bunch of WMA and MP3 files) and activated the press service that would allow my music to be listened traveled with other DLNA devices.

    I then pulled up to my Windows 7 laptop and opened Windows Media Player. The NAS media appeared immediately. I clicked on "The Album->" under the name of server. Here is what I get:

    -All photos are displayed in the list

    -No album art

    -L' artist album appears usually (but), instead of the title of the album

    -Some albums are displayed with duplicates (2 or even 3 copies) of each track

    What happens here? Is there a problem with the Seagate DLNA implementation? Windows Media Player is getting confused somehow?

    Click on the Search button.

    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

    I tried to read through messages and can't seem to find a way to do it. I'm not big on it like before I just used an ipod. I just got an e260 v1.  I have read and found out that I had to change my itunes in mp3 format I did.  Then, I downloaded Media Player 11 and got my songs on it.  Now I can't understand how to delete songs that I don't want the reader because I know that you can't do with v1.
