Paul,

What is that checkbox that you mention that dupes all of your songs? I have been having a similar issue and wanted to check whether I had the same box checked.

This method is action-packed with possible user experience landmines, but the idea of training people to expert without much effort on their part interests me.

I smell a few dissertation topics there. Someone ought to get involved at their alma mater again.
