Duplicates caused in main library by playlist import
importing an external playlist causes duplicates in the library.
My example being that I was importing my star ratings from Rhythmbox, by exporting them from Rhythmbox as a playlist for each star rating and then imported the playlist in Songbird (having already had it scan my library a few days prior).
Doing the import lead to duplicates of every one of the playlist tracks in the main library.
Quite easy for me to fix in my case as I had been through and clicked 5s, 4s etc on all of the playlist duplicates, so I just used an addon to remove the originals.
Anyway,. so, voila - repeatable problem. Hope the bug report is of help.
Best wishes

Inappropriate?I'm having this same exact problem. But, I'm exporting playlists from Banshee.
Steeee, I found "The exorcist" addon which removes duplicates. Is there another addon that does the same?
I’m happy to help fix this, but find it annoying

Inappropriate?yep the exorcist was what I used, I'm not aware of any others. As it happens there are more dupes created every time I rescan my library, but given I've not looked into defining why they are created I wont bother reporting that for now :)
bws,
Steve
