    Media play confusion

    I downloaded a free album as a zip of MP3s and copied them into a new folder in My Music. Media player auto-detected it, which is nice. But when I look at the album Media player lists every single song twice. I checked and it hasn't made copies, and I didn't do it... any ideas?

    Media player even lists both copies of each track with the same track number.

    To use the Add to Library by Searching Computer dialog box
    1.
    Start Windows Media Player.
    2.
    Press F3 on your keyboard to open the Add to Library by Searching Computer dialog box.
    3.
    Click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer for which your library contains invalid entries. Specify the folder location in the Look in box.
    If you are not sure which duplicate entry in your library is invalid, you can add a File Path column to your library display by following the instructions in the last question. Specify the folder on your computer that matches the invalid file path displayed in your library.
    4.
    Click the Search button.
    The Player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and will remove the invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If invalid duplicate entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specifying a different folder each time.
