Do you know if you have musicbrainz tags on your music files ?

MusicBrainz change philosophy a couple of years ago so the same song on
multiple albums got the same identity and this can cause duplication of
entries in the TrackStat database tables. There is an "Enable
musicbrainz tags" option in TrackStat that can be used to disable the
musicbrainz related logic if this is what's causing the problem. 

To get rid of the duplicates, I think it should be enough to use the
"Remove all data" option in TrackStat settings page in the
"Backup/Restore/Clear" section and after that restore the TrackStat
backup. The restore process happens in the background and can take some
time but it should only import one of the duplicate entries. If you want
to be sure you can get back to the current situation it might be a good
idea to shutdown LMS and take a backup of the library.db and persist.db
file in the LMS Cache directory before you clear and restore the
TrackStat data.
