How to display duplicates in Itunes 11

Since I listen to a lot of classical music, accurately synchronizing track titles is very important...
And, with an 80 gig Ipod Classic, I cannot get my whole library [95 gigs +] on it at one time...So, with itunes 10, you could display duplicates which really helped me sort and uncheck multiples of any given classical piece...But that feature appears to be gone with itunes 11...
WHYYYYYY?

If I was better at web design, or at least had more time, I'd have found a better way to list the scripts and explain how to use them.
I have occasionaly thought about giving each script its own page with screenshots etc. showing how it works and what its output should look like, but that project seems too daunting so I leave it for later. Much later...

How to display duplicate key in web report?

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell me how to display duplicate key in web report?
I know in the Bex analyzer, we can allow the duplicate key to be dispalyed via the 'query property' by right click, and in the 'display option' tab, there is an option which named 'forbid duplicate key', if we don't select this option, the duplicate key will be dispalyed in the report result in BEx analyzer.
But how can I do this in Web report? Thanks in advance.
Eileen

HT2905 How do you display duplicates in iTunes 11? I cannot find it.

I downloaded the latest iTunes version, 11, and now can't find "display duplicates" anywhere.

Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this lists make no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicates copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

How to delete duplicate songs itunes for windows?

How to delete multple duplicates of songs on Itunes for windows?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to 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.
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. There are other ways to deal with deal links alone, but those won't preserve that information.

Is there a new way to Display Duplicates in iTunes 11?

Used to be under file Display Duplicates but now it is gone. Anyone found the new way? Is there one? Did they really take away that functionality??

I not this is no consolation, and I am upset that this functionaliy is missing. But I think the best thing we can do is let them know that we want it back. I've already sent off a feedback form to Apple. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears, but maybe if enough people do it asking for "Display Duplicates" back mayb we'll see it in an update. You can fill out a feedback form for iTunes here http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

HT2905 What happened to the "Display Duplicates" in iTunes 11?

Just updated to iTunes 11 and thought I'd do a little cleaning up. But I can't find the File > Display Duplicates or better yet, the File > Display Exact Duplicates. Is it gone? Or is there now a different (hopefullly better!) way to get rid of duplicates in iTunes 11?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.

But that is precisely what you should not do. iTunes doesn't distinguish between "originals" and "duplicates", you have to decide which is which. If you delete them all you have nothing left.

What happened to display duplicates in itunes 11

Just upgraded to itunes 11 and it seems display duplicates is no longer available? Really useful tool

I think it's been removed, which is frankly astonishing. It wasn't a perfect tool but did help when you have a large library. It needs putting back ASAP. I've submitted feedback via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

HT2905 "Display Duplicates" in iTunes 11

There doesn't seem to be a "Display Duplicates" item under Files in iTunes 11. Anyone know where it might be found? I love it when they change versions but don't change the Help answers.

How to delete duplicates from iTunes but not hard drive

I'm running iTunes 10 and have my music stored on both my NAS drive and backup drive. Each track appears twice on iTunes: once as lossless for streaming and and once as compressed AAC files for synching to ipods and iphones.
For some reason, when my PC is turned on after being turned on, the linkstation cannon be 'seen' by iTunes, and therefore if I try to play a track, 'the original file cannot be found'. If I use the 'add folder to library' option in the 'file' dropdown menu, the tracks are located again.
Unfortunately, I the last time I did this it resulted in 4 copies of each song on itunes; 2 lossless and 2 AAC.
I have 2 questions:
Firstly is there an easy way to delete the duplicates from my iTunes library so that I am left with only 1 lossless and one AAC copy, but not deleing the files from my NAS and backup drive?
Is there a way I can just store my music as lossless, but convert it easily to aa more compressed format for synching to iphone and ipod?
Thanks!

You can try my new DeDupe script. It should be able to get rid of the redundant copies while keeping one copy of each track in each format. See this thread for background.
I've not used the feature, but iTunes can downsample to 128k AAC on the fly as it syncs your devices. Of course you might find the process is too slow for your needs or find that 128k is too much compression.
