Sometimes you may find that some artists folders have duplicated, with their album list split up between two separate folders for the same artist.
This may happen when different albums in our Core had slightly different spellings of the artist name.
Luckily, this duplicate artist problem can be resolved easily by merging the entries through the Manage Pick Lists screen.
To open that screen, click menu Edit, then choose Manage Pick Lists.
On the left side, click “Persons”. That will show you your complete artist list, with Sort Names, Display Names and more.
Now:
- Find the duplicate artists using the search box top right
- Select the duplicate artists (hold CTRL and click them)
- Finally, right click on the selection and go to “Merge Selected To”, and select the artist entry you want to merge to, that is, the one you want to keep.
( in most cases, that would be the one that lists the most albums )
