Newbie - duplicate songs on clip+ and sync problems

Hi - forgive the newbie

A couple of issues:-

1)I seem to be repeatedly mucking up adding stuff/syncing to my clip+ using WMP12 - like how do I add new songs without deleting existing content??So far I must have added and lost songs/playlists about 5 times!!

  1. I’ve now added a playlist and managed not to delete anything in the last hour - yay!! but seem to have lots of duplicate songs on my clip. But when I open it up on the PC (windows 7) either through WMP or my computer, no duplicates show up.

Am i just being really dumb??

My USB mode is MTP if that matters (although I don’t really understand the difference…)

Many thanks

They do appear to be duplicates - eg I go under a certain album and each track is listed twice.

Would it possibly be caused by the fact that I had it connected under MSC and loaded some content on then switched to MTP? I have a vague feeling I might have done this - I certainly recall making sure it was on MTP to follow a tip about playlists.

okay - set it to MSC and deleted the songs that appeared in that mode (it was pretty much the whole list of albums with duplicates)

Now I just have a few duplicates left - guess I can live with that!!

The duplicates left are all songs i have on playlists, and in most cases the name is slightly different - eg no apostrophe - “I_m” not “I’m” for example. However they do NOT show up as duplicates if I look on the PC - only on the player.
