Regarding your last point. Is there any way of retaining the matadata that I've manually updated. If I transfer my library from my laptop to the PC I'll lose the metdata that I've manually corrected. Can I simply keep the metadata.db and overwrite the new one once copied across?

No you can not just copy over the new metadata.db with the old. I believe the metadata.db file contains within it your entire structure indexed including metadata so you could not do the latter. |

Tried to scan onto my laptop but it came up with an error message saying it had hung. I'm just going to try and remove the duplicates manually.
Thanks for all your help. |
