Confirmations

• warn when duplicate tracks are added to a playlist

     check this if you want MusicBee to display a warning popup when you add duplicate tracks to a playlist, for example by using drag and drop or the context menu item to send a selection to a playlist. The criterium used to detect duplicate tracks is <the file name? full      path? TODO>, meaning that tracks with the same title are considered different if located in different places on the file system.

• confirm pasting tags from one file into another file

     MusicBee allows you to copy all the tags of a track and pasting them to another one, by selecting the source track, pressing Ctrl+C, then selecting the destination track and pressing Ctrl+V.

     Since this operation can't be undone automatically, you can prevent to accidentally overwrite the destination track tags by telling MusicBee to ask for confirmation.

• confirm deletion of tracks from playlists

     you can set MusicBee to show a confirmation popup when deleting tracks from a playlist. In the same popup you can also choose to delete the track from the playlist and from your computer: in this case, not only the track will be removed from the playlist, but the      corresponding file will also be deleted.

• confirm picture storage options when adding artwork

     <TODO>

• confirm deletion of artwork that is no longer referenced

     <TODO>

• confirm removal of dead links when rescanning library

     When you rescan your music library, either through the Insert key or  from File> "Rescan/Add file" MusicBee automatically recognizes if dead links exist (files that are in your library but are not physically on your computer anymore). If checked a confirmation message will appear every time dead links are found.
