Dropping a song file brings up another song file already in my library

I have a bunch of files with the exact same "Titles", of various duration, but with different file names.
When drop one of these files into the iTunes library. It pops up as a different file that's already in my library.
Just to be on the safe side, I created a new blank playlist, then droppped the song again on that playlist. But the bug is till there and it brings up that other file.
The only relation I can see between the two is that they have the same ID3 Title and the same timing...
How can I avoid this bug ?

Louis,
Interesting.  I more or less reproduced that behavior, on Win 7 running iTunes 10.6.0.  For the same song with 2 different filenames, iTunes did not create a second library entry. 
It might be bug, or more likely a "feature"  to help people avoid unintentionally creating duplicate entries.
When I edited (outside iTunes)  the ID3 title of the 2nd file, and re-added, iTunes then treated them as 2 different tracks.  (The MP3 audio was identical for both.)
In your case, you might want to add some unique descriptor to each ID3 title tag.  That will probably be enough for iTunes to correctly distinguish them.
Let us know how you make out.

  • Sequence of one sequence file called by another sequence file

    Hi,
    Is there any method by which we can call sequence of one sequence file from the another sequence file.
    Please let me know in case you know.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Vivek

    Hi,
    Yes, look at the Computer Motherboard Test Sequence.seq in TestStand\Examples\Demo.
    You have to use the SequenceCall Step Type and specify the path to the other sequence file, use the browse button. Then use the sequence control to select the sequence within that sequence file that you wish to invoke.
    Hope this helps.

  • Embedding a flash file in a another flash file

    Very specific question: I have a file (http://www.flabell.com/flash/Simple-Flash-Mp3-Player-37) that I want to embed/insert/open/etc. in another .fla file that I have opened in a tab in Adobe Flash Professional CS4. The entire website is a decompiled .fla file, and I want the mp3 player to be completely interactive in the page. I want it to load when the page loads, and have the transport buttons all activated by being clicked. This works whenever I open the mp3 player .fla file in a separate window in Flash, but this is achieves nothing. I have gotten as far as converting the .fla mp3 player into an.flv file and embedding the file in the website .fla file, however it is as good a .jpeg file. How can I accomplish this?

    The only ways to get a separate swf file to load into another swf file is to do it dynamically.  If you import an external swf file it will lose all of its actionscript.  You can try copying the timeline of the mp3 fla file into a movieclip in the other fla file if you want to combine the contents of the two and have the mp3 player work.

  • Frame file looking for another Frame File

    Hi,
    Working on a document which was created  by someone else (who is no longer here).  When I open the main Frame file it prompts me that there is a Missing File, which is not an art file, but another Frame file.  I cannot figure out why this is happening and have never seen something like this.  There is no information with the archived source files how or what the writer did when he created this.
    I am attaching the pop-up window.
    Thanks,
    Mary

    I wondered if it might be a missing text insert, but these give a different error message (at least in 9.0, and as far as I remember in earlier versions too)
    Can you lay hands on a print-out or a .pdf of an earlier version, to give you an idea of what content might have gone missing?

  • Bring in another .psd file with the clipping path

    Okay, this client has a very odd request. They want a collage of images put together in one file and they want the clipping paths to be attached. Then it's to be saved as an eps file. I'd like to do this in InDesign and am going to be posting this same question there as well. I like that in InDesign, the clipping path stays attached to the image when you move it. However, is there a way to do this in Photoshop? I don't know how to bring .psd files into Photoshop along with their clipping paths. If there is a way to do this, is there a way to link the clipping path to the layer so that when I move the individual layers, the clipping path moves with it?
    Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    In Photoshop "Clipping Path" is a special kind of Path and limited to one per image and not linked to one Layer.
    A work-around to combine multiple images with individual Clipping Paths into one psd file with a combined Clipping Path could be
    • applying the Clipping Paths as Vector Masks to the images (flattened to one Layer or converted to a Smart Object each),
    • combining them and after positioning/transforming/…
    • copy/pasting the individual Vector Masks into one new Clipping Path.

  • Parse exisitng xml file and recreate another xml file with different struct

    Is it possible in java using dom parser to parse an exisiting xml file and recreate a new xml file from data obtained by parsing old xml file.
    I checked on old forum threads and everywhere either parsing xml file has been explained or creating new xml file from scratch has been shown.
    Any examples/guidance will be appreciated....

    The general process is:
    Document dom1 = ... // the parsed document
    Document dom2 = ... // new document constructed on the fly
    Node nD1 = ... // some random node found in dom1
    // copy the node from dom1 and associate with dom2
    Node nD2 = dom2.importNode(nD1, true);
    // ... treat nD2 as a node which can now be inserted into dom2 ...
    Node otherD2 =  ... // some other node already in dom2
    otherD2.appendChild(nD2);Note, in this example the nD1 node is copied (including any sub-nodes) into a new node, nD2. You can alternately move the node from one Document to another using Document.adoptNode(), however this may fail (see the javadoc).

  • Using File Share creates another .motn file.

    Whenever I use the share feature under File to save out a H.264 file it also creates a Motion project file in the directory with the render. Is there a reason for this? I end up with tons of these duplicate files I have to clean up.

    Maybe Compressor is supposed to delete them when it's done? Does it have rights to the directory?

  • A web service that returns a xml file and gets another xml file as input?

    Hi,
    I want to create a web service which gets an xml document as input then returns again an xml document.How can I create this kind of web service?
    Is this kind of implementation is possible?
    public Document mywebservice(Document input){
    Document d;
    return d;
    or do I have to use serialization processes which I don't know very much.
    I am waiting for your help.Thank you...

    If you want to deal directly with the Document and not want the SOAP engine to serialize/deserialize the XML into Java objects, then you can easliy implement this using Axis. Look at the Axis documentation (http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/user-guide.html#ServiceStylesRPCDocumentWrappedAndMessage) under the heading "Message Services". One of the provided API methods that Axis provides is in the form you want: public Document method(Document body). Hope that helps. As for how to implement the service using Axis, that is beyond the scope of this forum. Check the Axis docs for more help on that.

  • Jumps to another song and doesn't play
