Duplicate Music Library Sign Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

Can you check if both the folders contain all the music that you need?

Where the original files are saved so that we can troubleshoot this issue further?

I suggest you to follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

Method: Restore default Libraries

I would suggest you try the restore library option and check if it helps. Please back up all the files in the library before trying this, just to make sure you don’t lose any files. Refer these steps:

• Open Windows explorer
• In the left panel, locate Library and right click on it
• Click “restore default libraries” option
• Check if the issue persists.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

question on music formats

MP3 is not worse because it's compression, but because it's lossy compression, meaning that it discards data, thereby reducing sounds quality. Ogg Vorbis is another lossy compressor that allegedly sounds better for the same file size and bit rate, but there are many others. There are also various lossless compressors, such as the ones that TRWOV just listed. Note that the file sizes are way bigger with these and are typically half the size of the original uncompressed WAV file.

I don't use iTunes, but I'm pretty sure it supports lossless. Winamp is supposed to be the daddy of music players, but use whatever you like best.

Use any CD burning software that can make audio format CDs. The typical one is Nero, but there's lots of free ones too - none of which come to mind, lol. Just use google to find them.
