Merging duplicate Tracks

Merging Tracks is a great way to remove duplicates while preserving the Master Track's place and history in your Playlists.

How to Merge Tracks

To merge Tracks, select the Tracks you want to merge using multiple select, and click the Merge button (small two-pronged arrow icon) at the bottom of your page:

You can then choose which track you want to be your 'master track' – the copy of the track that will remain after the merge. Typically, you'll want to choose the track that has the most accurate and complete metadata as the master track. 

You can check the metadata of the different tracks by selecting the checkbox to the left of the tracks in the top right section of the window:

When you've selected your master track, click Merge tracks:

After the merge one track will remain, but it will appear in any playlists all previous duplicate copies showed up in.

Passing lossless formats (e.g. AIFF, WAV) across Tracks when Merging

In some cases, the track you want to be your master track either doesn't have a lossless format (like an AIFF or a WAV), or the lossless format associated with the track isn't the one you want to use.  

If the track you're discarding in the merge contains a lossless format version, you can choose to pass this version across to the master track.

In the example below, the top track is selected as the Master track, and only the MP3 from this Track is selected.

The WAV from the bottom track is also selected, meaning it will be passed onto the Master track after the merge.

Once the merge is complete, the Master track will contain both the MP3 from the Master (top) track and the WAV from the bottom (discarded) track.
