Merging Duplicate Entries in different playlists?

So I recently migrated a collection to Rekordbox which was organized as a series of folders which I imported as Playlists.  Many of the songs were in multiple playlists and had a duplicate file in several folders.

I removed the duplicates from the collection by flattening the folder structure, however, now I am stuck with multiple entries for each song, each one in a different playlist.  The "Relocate" function is only valid for one of these entries as when I try to Relocate the others it tells me the file is already in the collection.

Is there any way to distribute the relocated file to all the playlists it was supposed to be in other than manually dragging each one multiple times and then deleting the surplus entries?

Ricardo,

Unfortunately not. Each imported song has a unique ID, even if the song is identical in a different folder. When you collapsed the structure of your audio files and removed the duplicates, the unique entries remained in rekordbox and can't be merged. You would need to pull the one remaining song into those various playlists manually to "replace" them and then simply delete any of the missing songs from the collection.
