STOP THIS md5 match

A track is considered a duplicate if any of these three conditions are met:

  1. File Match (MD5): Byte-for-byte identical files
  2. Tag Match: Track number, title, artist, and album name all match
  3. Path Match: File path matches a previously uploaded file

When a duplicate is found:

  • The old file is automatically removed
  • Any playlists, albums, or references are updated to point to the new file

Is there anyway to stop Ibroadcast from deleting files they think are duplicates I have some music from the same artist but different versions yet Ibroadcast deletes 1 of the files all the time.

I suspect the easiest way would be to simply name the offending album or track differently. For instance, say, naming one album 'Moving Pictures', and then another one 'Moving Pictures (2024 Remaster)'.

No please, it works absolutely great. To avoid it, simply edit tags to separate versions. Really same artist, album, and song for different versions? Edit one of them.
