I'm a Newbie,
I need setup settings to scan for music file dupes of my massive music collection.
I want to do this right the first time since I have a large collection.
Can anyone suggest the correct setup for organizing my MP3 music collection of over 300K files?

1. Backup everything
2. Run a Regular mode, same content (exact match) scan to weed out exact copies
3. Use the Audio Mode scan to find the same music, then you can examine tags, weed out untagged songs, etc. The Selection Assistant can help here.
It's really an iterative approach, with different passes looking at different things depending on your collection.
