2 questions about library management
Hi,
Can you help me with the following requests I have ? I'm not even sure if they're possible in Rekordbox and may become features request.
1. Find duplicates
Is there a features like the one in iTunes to find duplicates songs ?
2. Related playlists
How to list the playlists where a track is referenced ?
Thanks !

1. No, because you may have the same track in multiple locations on purpose. Personally, I have albums and compilations which contain the same track - I don't want to get rid of them because I may want to play the album in its entirety, rather than missing one of the songs because it was considered a "duplicate."
2. Yes; click on any track, then click here:
Thank you so much ! that was well hidden !
Concerning the duplicates search, I understand but disagree. The iTunes feature do not merge nor delete the duplicates but simply list them. So you have the choice.
In iTunes I'd like to keep albums complete so it doesn't bother me to get a track the first time in the original album and a second time in a compilation.
In Rekordbox, I only need most the tracks only once. But over time, I may (and had) imported the track on the album and on the compilation. They're spread over multiple playlists and even have different tags or rating because I was not in the same mood when I imported the duplicate.
So I guess such a feature could provide a better maintainability of the Rekordbox library.
I think you make great points and I too would like to see this feature developed.
