Lesson Summary
- Identifying Duplicates: After a bulk upload, identify playlists with duplicate files of different file types, typically MP3s and WAVs (assuming they were in different folders for the upload).
- Playlist Preparation: Drag both playlists into the playlist creator to place matching tracks next to each other.
- Metadata Importance: MP3s usually carry better metadata compared to WAV files.
- Starting the Merge: Select the first two files (MP3 and WAV) by holding Shift or Command, then open the merge area from the menu.
- Metadata Verification: Double-check the metadata on both tracks. Choose to retain the MP3 metadata while keeping the WAV file.
- Merging Tracks: Select the MP3 for metadata and the WAV for quality, then click "merge tracks." Repeat this for all tracks in the album.
- Renaming Playlists: Once merged, rename one of the playlists with the artist and album name for clarity.
- Deleting Duplicate Playlist: Delete the redundant playlist to avoid confusion and maintain a clean account.
- Catalog Cleanup: Repeat the process for all albums to ensure a well-organized catalog.
