How to...

Keep the best quality mp3 only

I made a dupe scan and I did set my master collection to "Reference" priority, and my download directory to "normal" priority. Everything is fine, but I have some duplicates in my download directory which have a better quality than their reference file. I would like to copy it in my master collection. What to do?

One of the sacred rule of Mp3 Filter is to never delete the reference file in a duplicate group. Overwriting the reference file by copying a dupe file over it breaks that rule. However, the feature is there :). Because it breaks a sacred rule, you cannot use it "in batch". You must perform this action one by one.

  • In the results window, select the dupe file that has a better quality than it's reference.
  • Right-click on it.
  • Click on "Replace reference with this file".
  • Read the warning window, and click Replace file.

The dupe file is copied, not moved. Thus, you will probably want to delete the dupe file afterward.
