NEED HELP!!! Duplicate local offline files!!!

[GrahamNash]

Hi, I'm new to this community so I'm just hoping I'm posting this at the right place!

I've just installed Spotify to my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 a couple of days ago and am starting to sync my local files. What I then notice is that there are at least duplicates, sometimes even up to four copies, of every single local file that I have made offline. Why is that, does anybody know? Many songs are in several playlists but that shouldn't make them show up multiple times when I search them, right? 

An example:

I've made "The WASP [Texas Radio And The Big Beat]" by The Doors available offline in one playlists dedicated entirely to The Doors, which also makes it available offline in another playlist that I have it in. When I then search it (just by an occasion you know, to play it) FOUR copies of the exact same song shows up with the "Available Offline" green arrow on the side!

I can't seem to reach the problem, even if I delete it from the other playlists it is in I still have four copies of it. I've got entire albums by artists that aren't available on Spotify that I'm syncing and they are all getting duplicated on the phone, when I search "The WASP" on my computer only one local copy shows up! So the problem is limited to the phone, I haven't got several copies on my computer.

Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated, since I guess these duplicates take up a lot of unnecessary space.

It would really be great to make 'em disappear and the whole interface would look much cleaner if I wouldn't have to deal with hundreds of duplicates when I search "Pink Floyd" on my phone ...

I have now tried re-installing Spotify and removing all my offline tracks. So I made a small experiment and found out that as soon as I sync a track that I also have a local version of or a song that exists in several playlists duplicates in the search function.

I removed all the Pink Floyd I had on my device and added just one song to an own playlist. I then synced that playlist and should have just one copy of the song, it's only in one playlist and it's the only version I have on my computer. But still, when I search Pink Floyd there are 2 copies of the song I only have one copy of! How the heck is that possible? Am I the only one who is experiencing this bug?

Thankful for any thoughts and replies!

GrahamNash, try going to Edit>Preferences>Local Files and seeing if there are any locations checked that you don't think should be checked.
