What am I doing wrong?

Hi @sam016 ,

Trying to use this app to clean up a folder that has an bunch of duplicate songs with different files names but identical metadata.

However, I am not succeeding. Steps taken: 1 - I have python 3 installed. OK 2 - I installed the pytaglib package but received an error message ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: 'C:\Users\maart\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe' -u -c 'import sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\Users\maart\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-sv_qf0pu\pytaglib\setup.py'"'"'; file='"'"'C:\Users\maart\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-sv_qf0pu\pytaglib\setup.py'"'"';f=getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record 'C:\Users\maart\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-304cn341\install-record.txt' --single-version-externally-managed --user --prefix= --compile --install-headers 'C:\Users\maart\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python38\Include\pytaglib' Check the logs for full command output.

3 - When I run the command line anyway, it also errors:

rmdupsongs.py:99: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="? ind_sel = 0 if ind_sel is '' else ind_sel rmdupsongs.py:106: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="? if ind_sel is 0: Traceback (most recent call last): File "rmdupsongs.py", line 190, in main() File "rmdupsongs.py", line 39, in main str_rubbish = ('|'.join(('(' + re.escape(item) + ')') for item in params.rubbish)) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Any advice you can give me to make this run?

Thanks, Maarten

@m0100434 it has been so long since I cleaned my directory and used the script again. I will surely check this out.

@m0100434 I made some changes for it to work for python3. I have tested it with python3.8. pytablib has its own dependencies to be built and installed. Please refer to this: https://github.com/supermihi/pytaglib#installation-notes

Hi @sam016 , Thanks for the update! The program runs and is asking me to choose the version I would like to keep, so far so good.

However, there is an error while removing. Perhaps I need to run the program as admin? Any idea how to fix this?

Choose which file to keep [1 - 2]:

1 Error while removing the file.
