Missing files and duplicates

Re-link moved songs, clear out missing ones and find duplicates.

When songs move

If you move or rename a song inside your library folders, Paatu Cassette notices that it turned up elsewhere (same size, title and length) and re-links it. The song keeps its playlists, favourite, rating and play count.

Songs that are really gone

  1. Open Settings and find Missing Files. It says how many songs can’t be found on disk.
  2. Click Show to see each song’s title, artist and old location.
  3. If they’re gone for good, click Remove from Library and confirm. They also leave any playlists. Nothing on disk is touched.

Find duplicates

  1. In Settings › Duplicates, click Find Duplicates.
  2. Songs that share a title, artist and length are listed in groups.
  3. Use the Show in Finder button next to each copy to decide which to keep and tidy up in Finder.
