"This audio file has already been used" : why?

[BTB]

Hello everyone,
I’m having another problem with the release of my EP :

I’ve uploaded the same tracks several times, directly in the distribution process, not by adding them to the library. Now I see that they’ve been added to the library several times. I think that’s where the blockage is coming from.
I’d like to delete the “duplicates” in the library, but I can’t.
Can you please help me unblock this situation?
I’d like to keep the last 3 titles in my library, and delete the others.

/!\ Even if I import them from my library, the problem persists.

Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

hi @Carlos , could you take a look at this?

Hey @BTB,

Do not recreate the tracks, otherwise you’ll have problems with the audio files. Those 3 tracks are already in your library since 22.02.2025

Just add them to the release by clicking Ajouter de la bibliothèque instead of trying to recreate them + re-upload the audio files (that’ what’s causing the error message)

PS: I’ve cleaned up the duplicates for you.
