Hi Guys,
Sorry to introduce myself with a question, but its something thats had me baffled for a while and I'm sure its to do with Windows 7 indexing service but cant seem to figure out how to stop it.
I have a huge music library and from time to time I buy full albums just to get a hard to find track that I want. I also buy cds from ebay etc just for one or two tracks or borrow cds from friends.
Every now and then I spend a few hours going thgrough my music library deleting duplicates and songs I dont want, then a few days later they are all back in the library again. This happened regularly in the early days of having Windows 7 and I soon realised that it was probably the indexing service so I shut it off and just manually managed my folders, it was fine for a while yet it is happening again!
I have itunes installed and also two external WD hard drives, not sure though if they have any bearing on this.
I am getting fed up of this as everytime I synch my ipod its transferring all the duplicates and unwanted songs.
I empty recycle bin everytime I do a big sort out, any ideas please?
Thank you in advance
