 If you choose that "remove" option, any duplicates will be
 removed from your library database---and, if the corresponding files are located
 inside of your beets library directory, the files themselves will be deleted as
 well.
 
 If you choose "merge", beets will try re-importing the existing and new tracks
-as one bundle so they will get tagged together appropriately.
-This is particularly helpful when you are importing extra tracks
-of an album in your library with missing tracks, so beets will ask you the same

 If you choose to keep two identically-named albums, beets can avoid storing both
 in the same directory. See :ref:`aunique` for details.
