Hi John, not sure if you still monitor this thread, but here goes…

I so thought this was going to work for me! I had recently run one of those MP3 repair tools. It rebuilt a ton of mp3s and renamed the original songname.bak. Google Music interpreted all these rebuilt MP3s as new songs and dutifully uploaded them. So I have tons of duplicates all of a sudden.

Note: Your instructions are excellent, though the openssl-devel package doesn’t appear in Devel. It seems to be in Net now. I installed it from there.

Running the script allows me to log in and it gets a ton of my songs. Then when I reply ‘y’ to delete duplicates, it returns these lines, followed by thousands more deletes. Then another bit of error-looking code at the bottom.

The first part, before all the deletes, is:

Delete duplicate songs? (y, n): y

Can you make heads or tails out of this? Nothing seems to be deleting in real life. Also, each time I run this script, the same list of songs appears, and what seems to be the same list of thousands of deletes with the same ID numbers (it appears — I checked the first and last ones and they are always the same.

Ugh, if you can make sense of any of that, my hat’s off to you!

Cheers,
