duplicated files in Connect and on PC

Question

Hi,

I've recently noticed that some, but not all, of my OMA files that have been ripped in Connect have at some point been duplicated on my PC's hard disc! So for example when I go to an album folder rather than seeing 11 OMA files for the 11 songs on the album, there's 22 with each one being for example "Track 1.oma" and "Track 1(1).oma". And in some cases there are TWO duplicate files!

This is really annoying as each copy is obviously full file size, so basically rather than each album taking up an albums worth of my PC's hard disc space some are taking up 2 or 3 albums worth!!

Has anyone else experienced this? and if so what should I do to sort it out? I dont want to delete anything without knowing more about it, to make sure I dont delete the wrong version. But also so I can hopefully stop it from carrying on happening.

The other reason I'm posting this is because I've noticed a slightly similar problem in Connect itself, which is that for some reason whenever I look at the playlists on my NWA3000 every single one has again, got at least 1 if not 2 identical copies showing! This one's not such a problem as it doesnt show up like this on the NWA3000 itself, but is a bit annoying when trying to edit the playlists etc.

So if anyone is able to offer any help or advice at all on either problem or ideally both, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot

It sounds like you have Connect set to transfer to your player at a specific bitrate - perhaps at 64kbs. If that's the case, and you've ripped music at some other bitrate, then Connect will keep a copy of the 64kbs file in addition to the original. Since the NWA3000 supports all bitrates, I suggest you let it transfer things over at their native bitrate.
