It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Music
I added the functionality to my music script to create a fantastic file. I've filled out the list a bit. I also added a simple duplicate finding routine that checks for duplicate file names. It only does the file name at the moment. Some duplicates slip through, but not nearly as many. I've spot checked the duplicate file and sure enough the files are there more than once. The sheer number of duplicates is frightening. 12556 duplicates out of 53537 total files including non music files. That is like one fourth.
There is an interesting side affect to removing duplicates. I notice the more obscure songs play more often. Mostly common stuff gets copied over and over. That moves their play time up artificially. This is not such a big deal. It does affect which artists I put in my fantastic list. I stop and think to myself "I'm going to hear them more often." This keeps Weird Al among others out of that list.
