I noticed a few duplicate albums being listed after step 7 completed its automatic rescan. So, I decided to do another full clean & rescan of my library in slimserver because of a few other posts I read here about MusicMagic showing duplicates if a "look for new and changed music" scan is done.

It's expected. Validation is a very resource intensive process, which is why Predixis suggest leaving it to run on your PC / box on overnight. The following may help speed up the process: Close all other non-essential programs and shut down any non-essential services; Change processing setting
