Duplicate playlists - Prune iTunes Folder?

My iTunes Folder contains material going back to my iTunes 3 Library created 4/28/03. A list of files/folders in the top level of the iTunes Folder is:
Album Artwork (folder, 608.2 MB)
Incomplete (folder, 25 KB)
iTunes Library Extras.idtb (file, 766 KB)
iTunes Library Genius.idtb (file, 66.8 MB)
iTunes Library.itl (file, 5.8 MB)
iTunes Library.xml (file, 18.1 MB)
iTunes Music (folder, 287.24 GB)
iTunes Music Library.xml (file, 18.1 MB)
Mobile Applications (folder, 4.76 GB)
Previous iTunes Libraries (folder, 113.8 MB)
When I import my music into Sonos, duplicate playlists are created. I presume this is because there are two library .xml files (iTunes Library.xml and iTunes Music Library.xml)
In addition, the iTunes Library.itl file is a potential source.
Can any of these files/folders be safely deleted?

Yes - playlists will have been sourced from each library, hence the potential for multiple versions.  Now all within iTunes Match you can simply adjust and enjoy a single aligned version - though worth noting that Smart Playlists and IOS devices are not a good mix with the current generation of iTunes Match.

  • How to delete multiple duplicate playlists in iTunes match?

    itunes created 1500 duplicates of my playlists.

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Create a Playlist from external folder with tracks already existing in iTunes

    I was just wondering if its possible to create a playlist from an external folder (on my desktop) with tracks that already exist in iTunes.
    I basically have a folder on my desktop that i use with Serato, i was wondering if it'd be possible to sort a playlist in iTunes with the tracklist from the folder? I already have all the tracks on iTunes so i don't want to add them onto iTunes again just to put them into a playlist as i'd have to sort through all the duplicates to delete the non playlisted tracks (theres around 1500 so it wouldn't be a quick task).
    Would be much appreciated if anybody can help!

    Hi,
    I have an AppleScript that does this.
    This script need Spotlight metadata, all files in the folder that you use with Serato should be indexed.
    Works well if the tags (name and artist) are defined
    In this script :
    it will display a dialog to select your folder
    iTunes search track from the library playlist according to (artist, album and title in the Spotlight metadata of each file).
    If iTunes found a track, iTunes will add this track to the new playlist.
    The script takes 35 seconds for 1000 files on an old machine (PowerMac G5 2 X 1.8 GHz) .
    This should take less than 100 seconds for 3500 files on the new machine
    Here is the script :
    -- this script need Spotlight metadata, files in the folder should be indexed
    set folderPath to (choose folder with prompt "Select the  folder that you use with Serato")
    set f to quoted form of POSIX path of folderPath
    my makePlaylist(do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & f & " -type f \\! -name '.*' -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 /usr/bin/mdls -name kMDItemTitle -name kMDItemAlbum -name kMDItemAuthors | /usr/bin/sed 'H;$!d;x;s/\\n[^k]//g'")
    on makePlaylist(t)
          script o
                property L : paragraphs of t
          end script
          set tc to (count o's L)
          tell application "iTunes"
                set newPlaylist to make new playlist with properties {name:"Serato"}
                set masterLibr to (get first playlist whose special kind is Music)
          end tell
          repeat with i from 2 to tc by 3
                set {tAlbum, tArtist, tTitle} to my getvalue(items i thru (i + 2) of o's L)
                tell application "iTunes" to try
                      set t to (get first track of masterLibr whose name is tTitle and artist is tArtist and album is tAlbum)
                      duplicate t to newPlaylist -- add founded track from the library playlist to the  new playlist
                end try
          end repeat
    end makePlaylist
    on getvalue(tList)
          set oTID to text item delimiters
          set text item delimiters to "\""
          set {alb, aut, title} to {"", "", ""}
          try
                repeat with i in tList -- if line does not contains a double quote then the tag is  empty -->  = (null)
                      if i starts with "kMDItemAlbum" then
                            tell i to if it contains "\"" then set alb to text item 2
                      else if i starts with "kMDItemAuthors" then
                            set text item delimiters to "(   "
                            -- if artist contains one word, it doesn't contains double quote
                            tell i to if it does not contain "(null)" then
                                  if last text item starts with "\"" then

  • How can I import an m3u playlist into iTunes that intentionally contains duplicate tracks? I want the duplicates in this case.

    For instance, if my M3u file looks like the 2 lines below, only one copy of the mp3 file is imported. I'd like the same track to be imported twice.
    Back To Black.mp3
    Back To Black.mp3
    btw, the reason I'd like this to work is that I use a separater track in playlists between groups of similar tracks. This separater is not being imported correctly as is being unhelpfully recognised as an unwanted duplicate.
    Any advice appreciated.

    I just did the following.
    Created a m3u file with a series of tracks with one entry duplicated.
    Made a new empty playlist in a test iTunes library which did not contain the files and dragged the m3u file to that playlist.
    It created a duplicate playlist entry for that one duplicated track but of course it points to the same file.  If you really want iTunes to duplicate the file you will have to trick it into thinking it is a different file.  Using your library management preferences (which are identical to mine) you will have to duplicate the file in Finder so you really do have two files and add it again.  Perhaps if iTunes was managing the media it would not behave that way and might add the file twice since dragging to iTunes with default preferences settings just places a copy on the iTunes folder and leaves the original in place, so you'd be dong hte equivalent of dragging twice (I'd have to test to check this since I don't use default settings either).  With your settings it just refers to the original wherever it is.  Hopefully I've phrased that well enough.

  • ITunes doesn't/slowly add music to libary (can't find it by artist or album), but does add it to iTunes folder and playlists

    When I drag and drop music to my iTunes, it starts copying files to the iTunes folder. Afterwards it scan's for loudness and artwork. That's all correct.
    But after this I can't find the music in my Library, while it is resulted as search results. Also the songs are in different playlists (newly added and never played).
    Only after about 45 min-1 hour the files áre in my library, without me doing or changing anything...
    I use iTunes 11, never had this problem with iTunes 10.
    Someone got any suggestions? Restarting iTunes won't work...

    Do you use iTunes Match? People have reported this can slow the process down.

  • How do you update playlists when using a network itunes folder ?

    I am trying to use a Network storage drive to keep my itunes libary on,the two problems i have are that even though the network drive is selected the playlists don't seem to be saved to the drive when i make new ones and also when i reboot the mac it defaults back to the local itunes folder.
    Thanks
    Matt.

    Yes, the files get bigger and take up more room.Will you notice a difference on Apple's earplugs, no...played through a home entertainment system is a different result. I have found the best sound and file size/hard drive space usage to be encoding music files in ACC 192 kbps.

  • Moved iTunes folder to a shared folder and lost all of my playlists

    Any way to recover, I just moved the iTunes folder to the Shared Music folder so that my wife's account on the PC could use the musica as well...any way to find/recover the playlists? If i sync, will it remove them from my ipod?

    One cannot move the music folders, rename song files or anything similar outside of the iTunes environment and expect the program to understand what has taken place. You just lose the reference pointers and other music metadata within iTunes.
    Move all the music files back where they were, recover your Library and then move the Library within iTunes using the process explained in the link below:

  • I imported my itunes folder from an external drive on a freshly wiped computer. My playlists and ratings did not copy over. how can I fix this?

    i imported my itunes library from a backup drive after i reinstalled windows on my machineby copying the itunes folder from the backup to the my music folder on my c drive. when i opened itunes and imported the library the playlists and ratings were missing. Is this normal itunes behavior? hoow can i fix this?

    Did your backup include the iTunes Library.itl file that is the core of an iTunes Library, and if so have you restored it either to the default library location for your profile, or to another folder and then redirected iTunes to look to that folder for a library? Normally all you need do is backup the entire iTunes folder from the old profile's Music folder, then restore the iTunes folder into the new profile's Music folder.

  • Duplicates in iTunes folder on Finder?

    So, yesterday, I reinstalled the OS because my computer was having problems and running out of space, transferring over nothing other than the iPhoto, iTunes, and a couple of other apps. I used an external drive to hold those files. Then, I moved the iTunes library to the right location under Users>Music. Before I reinstalled the OS, I consolidated the iTunes LIbrary so everything would be in one folder. This causes duplicates of many songs and files, as they all had to be duplicated and moved to the right folder in Finder, for an easier time moving the files to the drive. I didn't care about duplicates because I would be using a new machine. So, I let everything transfer. Everything went right. Except, now when I go to User>Music>iTunes, I have all my songs under iTunes Media folder which is User>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media, and all my songs also in the Music folder in User>Music>iTunes>Music. Are these all duplicates, and if so, which is safe to delete? Laslty, I have music in "All My Files" too and it has about 3,000 more files than the iTunes LIbrary does, so there are duplicates there. But I don't think those music files are even supposed to be in "All My Files," They should be in the iTunes folder. Can anyone help with getting rid of those duplicates? I'm on a mid-2010 13'' Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion.
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Phillip

    Hello Phillip,
    If you consolidated the files in iTunes, then yes, the location for all the music is iTunes Media folder. I would double check and get info on some of the files in iTunes to makes sure that is where the files are located.

  • Duplicates in iTunes folder but not iTunes

    Hi,
    Through Spotify I figured out that my music library on my Mac contains duplicates of many of my songs. Since this is a problem in the User > Music > iTunes folder, the usual "Find duplicates" won't help. I have over 5,000 songs, so is there any way to isolate and remove duplicates within the folder?
    Thanks!

    Use File > Add Folder to Library to add the iTunes Media folder to the library.
    Existing tracks will be ignored, new tracks will be added.
    Use the Option+File > Show Exact Duplicates feature to show exact duplicates.
    Sort the list on Date Added.
    Delete the duplicates added today.

    This article on how to re-create your library gives one way that is most likely to restore the most stuff. It also links to other methods if that doesn't work.

  • I copied my entire iTunes folder to my new Mac and now new playlists won't sync to my iPhone.

    Hi. I recently installed a new hard drive to my Macbook Pro and as I wanted a clean start decided not to restore from Time Machine. I just copied the entire old iTunes folder into my new music library. iTunes itself functions normally but it won't sync new playlists to my iPhone 5.
    I had similar problems with syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone through iTunes but I rebuilt the iPhoto library and that seemed to fix it. Is there a way to rebuild the iTunes library? I used this document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    and was given error code -50 saying it was unable to import the playlists.

  • ITunes creates duplicates when Adding a Folder

    Lately, whenever I add a folder to iTunes it creates a duplicate of each song. I have to go in and delete each occurance -- very irritating. I have the Sound Check volume adjuster in Preferences enabled. Maybe it has something to do with that. Any ideas?

    No, I do it the normal way. I simply use the Add Folder function and locate the folder on my computer, which is always in a separate directory. I do not put the folder in the music library. Usually, I delete the original folder once the music files have been copied. Basically, iTunes is duplicating the files for no apparent reason -- it's certainly nothing I'm doing.
    BTW, once iTunes has completed copying to the iTunes folder, it adds a "1" to the duplicated file. For example, in the iTunes folder "Joy Division\Substance," the duplicated files are represented this way:
    Joy Division - Transmission (1979).mp3
    Joy Division - Transmission (1979) 1.mp3
    You can't have two files with the same name in Windows' folders.
    Thanks for your suggestions, though!
