Deleting duplicate entries in my PC library

Let me ask this again - is there a way to automatically delete duplicate
titles in my library on my pc?

When I first started to build my pc library I filed the songs by
author/album/title but over time I realized that the same song appeared
multiple times on different albums and as a result I started getting lots of
duplicate songs. So, I am looking for an easy way to delete the duplicate
titles. Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

Probably not. And if there is, I don't think EphPod is the program for
it. It's not a PC music library manager, it's a synch system for the
iPod.

What you probably want is a PC media file library. For this, I use MP3
Collector from collectorz.com. There are others.

Unless you're keeping the entire albums on your system as mp3s, filing
by album is an extra step that can, as you realized, lead to
duplications and confusion.

Arg... Yes, my provider (wso.williams.edu) was hacked, and I guess
they're not going to bring up the other websites for some time.

You can still download the files from BUILDERadius in the meantime:

http://www.builderadius.com/ephpod/ephpod275.exe
and
http://www.builderadius.com/ephpod/ephpod276.exe

Hopefully they'll be back up soon.

Ah, yeah. I'm not seeing any ephpod content. All that I can see is a back
page with a Williams Studens Online security advisory stating (among other
things) that web services will be down for several days.
