Double songs?

Hi all.
On some albums, I get all or many duplicate tracks, both in view and play.

Of course, the album has only been uploaded once

Don't you have the files duplicated on your storage?

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I checked again and the duplicate songs, in my SD, are present ONLY ONE time

Hi, thanks for the report.

Could you confirm that they are for sure not duplicated files via the "Information" setting available in the overflow menu of a song? This will display info of the media, notably the path. Is it the same for two duplicated song?

I correct myself: I found another copy of the album, in a folder on the internal memory, while all the songs are on SD.
Cleared, everything is back to normal.
I apologize and thank you.

Cheers! Do you know that, at the top of More > Settings, you can uncheck "Auto rescan" and go into "Media library folders" to manually check the folders in which you want VLC to look for media. If albums might go in the internal memory and you want to restrict VLC to the SD, this is how to do it.
