USB Music Duplicates

[braoudap]

I have the weirdest situation manifesting on my USB music library. I have been using a Samsung USB drive that has been fantastic. Not long ago, I wanted to back up my music library to my laptop, and I noticed that when I plugged the USB back into my Tesla, nearly all of the songs on my USB are duplicated (see photos). The crazy thing is that I made an EXACT copy of the music library on my laptop and simply transferred it to the USB. And there is definitely only ONE song in the original playlist. So, how did TWO copies end up on the USB? Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, I took took the USB and completely wiped it and reformatted it. Then I took the original files from the laptop again and copied them onto the USB, and lo and behold, the songs are duplicated yet again. So ... where in the world is it picking up the extra songs? The MCU is obviously not storing the music (right?) so where is the duplicate coming from? Any ideas would be greatly welcomed!

Same thing just happened to me but I noticed I had an Apple folder in my media collection. When I removed the Apple folder then the tesla USB music list no longer showed duplicate songs.

@Threader, good call! Turns out there was a nestled folder buried in there and there were duplicates galore in there. Once I removed it, the dupes went away.
