Guys,

Looking not so much for advice but what you guys do to manage large libraries. I have many, many, many songs in my music library on my HE machine. Over the years some of the songs have many multiple copies. For example, Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean". It's a great song, IMO, but the problem is, it's on many albums. I have four albums that contain this song. Each album has the exact same copy.

Do you guys ...
Leave all four copies in place?

Delete all bar one copy

Use playlists to keep only one copy but "symlink" it to the other albums?

Something else?
