Duplicate files

I cannot eliminate the duplicate files in Windows Media
Player, even after I used the monitor files features and
the search for media feature. Some files duplicate
themselves twice and other duplicate four times. What
must be done about this?

Select all the files and delete them (from Media Library
only). Do a search again and they should only be listed
once.

I'm not sure about WMP, but J. River Media Center has a auto-playlist already
created just for this purpose. You can install the demo, and find the
duplicates. J. River Media Center is the most powerful jukebox software
available. I don't recommend it for newbies, though.
I have a screenshot on my site of the duplicates playlist.
