Why do my songs copy themselves

HumpiestPanther 6/21/2009 17:10:05

My Zune copies my songs. for example The new Green Day cd 21 Century Breakdown, I had 3 copies of song 1, 6 of song 16, and 3 of song 17. they were all in the same album creating one big list of copied songs.  It doesnt do this all of them but some, and i have to go in and delete and resync.

PS: I You have something to say bad about Green Day like they suck or older stuff is better, I have heard them all they are my favorite band.  I only used them cause it copied these songs most recent. So If your going to post just give me some tips

Thank You

Q2) Do you have the problem on your Zune device or in the Zune software (in your collection)?
[Note] If it's on your device, you probably need to erase all content ("Settings">"device">"SYNC OPTIONS") and resync. If it's in your collection, you probably need to use the media collection reset tool.

Q3) Are you using the latest firmware and the Zune software?
[Note] I saw lots of posts saying they had the problem before the update 3.0 or 2.5.

Q4) Do you have those files on an internal HDD, external HDD, or a network HDD?
[Note] If you are using an external HDD or a network HDD, check the drive letter or file paths, etc.
Also someone had the problem in their Zune collection because a utility program was making backup files on an external HDD, and the Zune software was monitoring them all.

Do you have any other media players on your computer?  Because mine did that but I figured it out because my mom (who has my old 1 GB iPod) was getting songs from the hardrive our computer and it for some reason copied the songs over to Zune.  I had to sit there and erase all the duplicates.  I don't know if this works for Windows Media Player or any others besides iTunes, but I hope this helps.

No. (Right now 52 of 148 videos on my Zune are movies, and I don't have any problems.)
