Filter to preserve ratings

[henryten]

I’ve been puzzling over this for a while and can’t find an answer:

I know Jaikoz deletes duplicates based on quality. Given the choice between a rated and unrated duplicate cut, is there an easy way for Jaikoz to always delete the UNRATED duplicates. I have thousands of doubles (and triples, etc.) and given the choice, I want to preserve the version that is rated in iTunes.

I could sort by rating, but there are many unrated cuts that are NOT dupes, so I can’t use that method. I also have a 20,000 cut library (probably down to 148 once I delete the dupes).

I’ll bet there’s an elegant easy answer out there and I’ll be slapping my head with shame when I read it.

Thanks in advance!

You can use the Filters menu to show only duplicates based on various criteria and then use the ratings columns to decide which of each set of duplicates to delete.

But there is no way to run Delete Duplicates and have it keep the tracks with ratings in a single step.
