Duplicates in Apple Music (Windows)

Duplicates in Apple Music (Windows)

I just upgraded to Apple Music on Windows. It lists 51 tracks as duplicate, 49 of which are Matched AAC.

It won't create a placeholder on my devices, though, which means that certain albums are missing tracks, either on the original or a greatest hits album.

I used to be able to force them to upload somehow in iTunes, so it was just a minor inconvenience.

How do I get them up in the new app? It's not like it's taking up any more storage space for Apple.

I just want a complete collection when I'm away from home.

Windows, Windows 10

Apple Music has pretty much gutted that feature, but if display by songs or create a smart playlist, you can set Cloud Status to Duplicate.

It's like they forgot that greatest hits album even exist. For a company that brags so much about usability, it's frickin' embarrassing.

Hi there

I'm afraid that I don't have an answer for you; however, I can't even figure out how to look for duplicate items in the first place! Where do I find that, please?

In other words, the first song on the first album I ever heard by The Cure four decades ago is now missing in my car because uploads aren't working properly.
