Why oh why does iTunes continuously add duplicate tracks to my collection? Aghhhh!!

Seriously, If there’s one thing that bugs me with all the iTunes problems; that’s it.  All I want is for my music library to stay organized with the ability to easily burn cds.

Simple right?

Insert disk, select a playlist you want to burn, and click burn! You’d be surprised by how much of a hassle its been to burn a cd with some of the other media players out there.

Well, that was my problem…

Since I was already on the verge of downloading a new media player and instead of digging deeper into the iTunes culprit which adds duplicate tracks, I decided to review alternatives.

I downloaded media monkey. The additional features are what sold me.

First off, note My deciding factors for any media player download are the ease of cd burning from a playlist, like iTunes, the ability to keep my (your) library organized, along with a few others.

The media monkey album art is pretty cool too.

So far I’ve encountered one problem with media monkey but it’s now resolved. Media Monkey, by default, cross fades tracks out of the box. I find this annoying because I do not want to hear cross fading when I’m rocking out to every beat. I want my next track to start in rhythm. Ya know? =)

I couldn’t locate the disable cross fade anywhere but after a weeks of getting fed up with the cross face problem, I finally searched and found a forum post at the media monkey forum.

Could it have been so simple? Duh, LOL. Here is a short video explaining how to disable the cross face in media monkey. And thanks to this thread at the MM forum.


I recommend Media Monkey.
