How do I fix playlist matches that select a live version, remix or remaster?
Check the recording's artist, album, duration and version text instead of only the song title. In PlaylistPort, review an alternative match or use manual search where available before transferring. Preview the candidate when the service offers a preview. If the exact recording is absent, decide whether another version is acceptable rather than treating it as the same track.
Steps to follow
- Pick one incorrect match and compare its full title, artist, album and running time with the source.
- Search for the exact version where manual matching is available, and preview the candidate if the service permits.
- Apply the correction to that entry, then check the result before repeating the process for similar songs.
Remaster, remix and live are meaningful
A remaster can differ from a remix, and neither should automatically replace a live performance. Decide what matters for your listening use. If the precise recording is absent, leaving it unresolved can be better than silently inserting a different performance.
