Perfect Metadata is required for a couple features of kJams to work properly. You need it for Switchable Albums and for Finding Duplicates.

To get Perfect Metadata ENSURE that all the songs that are duplicate have the EXACT same name.

For example: search for "beatles" and you may get a list that includes:

beatles
theBeatles
beatles, The
The Beatles
Beatles, The
  1. select the one that has the "canonical name" in this case you might choose: "Beatles, The"
  2. THEN select all the rest
  3. get info
  4. put a check mark next to Artist name
  5. press OK

Doing this will update the metadata such that all of artist infos are changed to "Beatles, The", now they REALLY are all the same!

You'll have to do the same for song name eg you might search for "Bungalow Beatles" and get this list:

Adventures of Bungalow Bill
The Adventures of Bungalow Bill
Bungalow Bill
Continuing Adventures of Bungalow Bill
The Continuing Adventures of Bungalow Bill
Continuing Adventures of Bungalow Bill, The

Do the same steps as above on them. When you've done this for your entire library, then you can search for duplicates and you can use Switchable Albums.
