Two entry of one album

[DavidHB]

Simon's explanation (which makes sense to me) does beg the question as to what the other programs you mention were actually doing. I don't think I'd want the overhead of byte-by-byte comparisons on my server.

More importantly, there may be a simple workaround for your problem. If you run MinimServer on the PC pointed at the music files on your PC, and keep the PI installation pointed only at the files on the PI-connected USB drive, you can simply switch between the two instances of the server in your Control Point to access the files you need. That way, only one set of files will show up in the Control Point at any one time. If you don't see what you are looking for, you know where to look next...
