Re: [Banshee-List] duplicate music library entries

[Pedro Nicolás <png1981 gmail com>]

Hello!

I had the same problem:

1. backup your banshee db, for example banshee_new.db the banshee db is in ".config/banshee-1"

2. Install sqlite3 (for example: sudo aptitude install sqlite3)

3. In my case, change one disk that mount in /media/maxtor_500 for another that mount in /media/wd_500

4. Delete the songs that have maxtor_500 in their path:

a) computer> sqlite3 banshee_new.db
b) sqlite> delete from CoreTracks where Uri like '%maxtor_500%';

5. Now you can test the new bd: banshee-1 --db=banshee_new.db

If you know sql, you can do it better, with updates beetwenn delete, etc etc.

If it's seeing duplicates then those tags have already been lost since
they're attached to the old copy that is no longer there.  The only
way I can see to preserve this info is to craft a few database queries
and run them against the DB directly.
