Your best bet would be to move your "backup" MP3s/FLACs to a separate directory (perhaps called "backup") from the one Minim scans.
As for compilation albums etc., such is the way. There will be duplicate tracks, but if they are tagged correctly they will appear as separate albums.

Thanks for that - correct, I never organised it. I sent the CDs off to be bulk ripped to the NAS. Stuff I've added since is by the odd disc, amazon MP3 dowloads and iTunes.

Argh - what a mess.

Know of a cure all program that scans the lot and asks me how many/which version I wish to keep?

"Come on (Let the good times roll)" is one of my favourite tracks. Just not 5 times in a row!

I only know of the De-Dup facility in dBPoweramp's PerfectTunes, but I have no idea how it works or what it does:
