**What is the feature or ability you would like to have?** Cleaning up my music library. Duplicate utility in ‘high tolerance’ finds a lot of duplicate tracks, including a lot of remixes that I actually want to keep. I know that I could technically lower the tolerance level, but it feels like I have less control. **How will this feature help you and others?** Ideally, I would be able to exclude specific tracks from tracks from the search results based on their tags. E.g. I would like to exclude all songs that have the ‘mix’ tag set to a specific value. This would give me more control than just looking at the song title… I think. **Does a workaround currently exist?** I could potentially save the search results to a new playlist, then filter that playlist on tag value, and then rerun the Duplicate utility on that newly created playlist. ---

I do think creating a smartlist with the rules you need here and then running the duplicate scanner on that is the way to go
