Duplicate files of music , video & images

Thanks for your reply , but give me proper solution , right now i have duplicate images (double or triple) if delete any one of duplicates all files gets deleted, in case of music same thing happens . Please give me proper suggestion regarding how to
refresh all media files (photos, music & videos) on my phone without formating.

 

822 Duplicating music photos and videos.

My 822 is duplicating music, videos & pictures. I have 10-12 copies of some songs & pictures. It stops duplicating videos at 3 copies. It does not do it with all music, photo's or videos, so I do not think it is a card issue. I have a new Sandisk 64gb
class 10 card that I formatted with this phone. Photo's music & videos were loaded to card through the phone by hooking up cable to windows 7 computer drag & drop/cut & paste. I can delete extra pictures, but I cannot delete extra videos or music... if
you delete one of the copies, none of them will play. When you delete photos, there will be new copies by the next day. Any ideas?



Have had this phone since the release at Verizon... Like the phone, but the video playback is very choppy & these duplicating issues are insane.

 

822 Duplicating music photos and videos.

Hey ppl, atlast it worked for me. The windows desktop app is buggy and it doesn't transfer files as intented for me. Rather i could transfer files without trouble using windows media player in these steps. Now i don't have any duplicates and all the files
are playing without showing any error. Try it out:

1. Remove all the files you have in the memory card or simply format it. Still you will see the files in the music player which wont play but wil remain there simply. You have no other way than to select the files,individually,and delete all the duplicate and
dummy files,that wont play any longer. Pity those having 32 GB full of files. I had only 2GB. There could be some other way to do this. But it worked this way only for me.

2. Connect the Lumia to pc through usb cable. You should be able to see the drives in the file explorer.

3. Open windows media player (i have set the option of sync using windows media player in the windows desktop app in its settings). Select the songs you want to add into the sd card and drag and drop in the SYNC LIST section at the right side of the player.
(in the library view, you will see play list, burn list, sync list at the right).

4. The Sync list section will show the external devices connected to the pc. In this case, select "Mobile name"-SD card and click START SYNC option above that. It will show the sync progress and once done you can see songs in the mobile.

Note: i had few issues when i tried to sync files and folder ,together. So tried syncing them separately and it worked. Remember to edit the song attributes like,album name,artist,genre,etc. in a way to facilitate organising songs in the music+videos in mobile.
You can also create playlists from the media player itself by dragging and dropping playlists in the Sync list. First try with few files after emptying the music+videos library.

Try these steps and if worked lik it did for me, post it in other forums that you came across that had similar discussions on this issue.
