If you disable self-scan for the folders 'VSD' and 'VSD1' the files in 'VSD' will be compared against the files in 'VSD1' and vice-versa instead of comparing all the files in 'VSD1' and 'VSD2' against each other. This can be used for merging two folders or if you have split the scan process in parts. Assuming that duplicates inside 'VSD' and 'VSD1' are already cleaned the operating will remove duplicates that are found in both folders.

3. Once the application freezes you can check the log file in "My Documents" folder to see which file started loading and could not complete.
4. Please send the file to us for an analysis.
5. Remove the file and run a scan - it will continue properly.
6. If the steps above do not help, make sure that your drive is not broken and does not have physical errors. You can try running the ScanDisk application from Windows.

There is nothing wrong. Audio Dedupe is not designed to remove duplicates only in certain applications as users may prefer iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player or any other player. For this reason Audio Dedupe is not specific to a player - it will remove all the duplicate audio files from your computer or network.
Why the duplicate entries still appear in my favorite player and how to remove them?Most audio, video and other players keep a play list which contains links to the files on your hard drive. When you clean your computer or network using Audio Dedupe the duplicates are removed, but some entries in the play list still points to the now missing files. What you have to do is just clear the play list and add the files to your favorite player. This will remove the missing entries and update the play list with the files that are present after the cleanup.
