  • How to delete duplicate songs on itunes

    how do you delte duplicate songs on itunes?

    no need to use any script, no need to pay "duplicate cleaner apps".. duplicates appears on your iTunes folder or where you pointed ... Open your music folder where you located them, you can see duplicated items... for example "Hells Bells.mp3" and duplicated one "Hells Bells 1.mp3" and the other duplicated one "Hells Bells 2.mp3"...
    just cmd+space and search 1.mp3...
    Choose "Show all in finder" ...
    Choose all of duplicated mp3 items...
    Delete them.
    If there is more than one or two duplicate, go ahead.. search for 2.mp3 or 3.mp3... choose duplicated items.. delete them..
    Tadaaa...

  • How to Delete Duplicate Songs in iTunes 8

    Is there an easy way to delete duplicate songs in iTunes 8?
    A friend of mine with a large CD collection and I share music. The trouble is that in the process of exchanging music we have created quite a number of duplicates.
    Is there a way to automate identifying and removing duplicate songs?

    hi,
    you aren't missing this. Show duplicates is NOT a tool to allow to simply select all and hit deleted. It is showing you the duplicates, one beside the other, to allow you to discriminate two songs having the same name but that may not be duplicate. For exemple, they may be two different version of a same song and that you want to keep them. For this reason, automated process are somehow risky to loose also song that you want to keep.
    however, if you still want to proceed with an automated script, you can find some at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/.
    Personnally, I would still discriminate duplicated songs manually by reviewing the list of "show duplicate" to avoid deletion of song I wish to keep. I also have a quite large library and found many songs having the same name and not being duplicates.

  • How can delete duplicate songs in itunes

    how can i delete duplicate songs in iTunes?

    I have the same problem, where my music library shows duplicates of just about everything I put in iTunes now. It began about a month ago. As far as looking at Date Added, well they are duplicates all put on at the same time. It isn't a matter of the title showing up later, or my having accidentally added the same song twice (say, from different sources or compilations). This is a problem with Apple I think because it just began a month ago and I changed no settings, nor did I do anything else. It just began to happen out of the blue. Anyone know about this?

  • How to remove duplicate songs from Itunes

    I've consolidates my music in Itunes 11.01. Playlists are just getting crazy with duplicates.
    I want to eliminate duplicate music files, as well as eliminate the references in the interface.
    Then sync my new IPad.
    When I manually erase a duplicate in Windows Explorer, I'm left with a "!" indication in Itunes that the file cannot be found... duh.
    I want to find either an easier way to eliminate duplicates without Windows Explorer, or
    a way to select all the "!" references in Itunes interface and delete.
    Help please from a completely organized person who hates Apples "intelligence" at thinking it knows what I want, and not providing
    adequate help under "remove duplicates" in its help index.
    Thanks.

    I would do it manually.  As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates.
    I would also review how you add media to iTunes.  It should not be producing all that many duplicates.

  • How do I duplicate songs in iTunes?

    I want two versions of some of my albums. I plan on having the normal albums and then having edited versions where all the skits and stuff are skipped. But i can't because i dont know how to duplicate songs. Im using the latest version of iTunes by the way. Can somebody help? Thanks.

    Right click on a track from the album and click Show in Windows Explorer. Select the tracks you want in your edited album and press CTRL+C to copy. Browse to <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes and press CTRL+V to paste. Sort the Songs view on Date Added descending (click the small bliack triangle to flip the order if needed) then select the new copies of the tracks, press CTRL+I to Get Info. and change the album title (e.g. add [Edit] to it) or the two sets of tracks will be listed as one big album with duplicate tracks. Once you have it as a separate album you can adjust start and end times of songs if needed.

  • How to add duplicate songs into iTunes?

    Contrary to what many people want to do, I wish to add duplicate files into my iTunes library. I am in the middle of adding a new set including the B-side songs that were originally left out of the release of an album.
    All of the songs are already in the library (including the B-sides, imported individually), however I wish to import the copies I have purposely made. I don't want to create a new playlist or anything like that.
    As I understand, with iTunes 7, it does not import duplicate songs (or what iTunes thinks are duplicates - they are recorded from a different source; vinyl, not CD). It does not even give me a warning or anything at all, it just does nothing when I select the folder or individual files.
    How can I force-add dupes into iTunes on Windows? As I understand, on Mac you can add dupes by holding down the option key.

    Hi, William.
    Do the two different files have the same name?
    If so, could you use Windows Explorer to rename the file itself so that, for example, if one is 07 The Reckoning.m4a the other is 07 The Reckoning Vinyl.m4a.
    You should be able to add the renamed file to your iTunes Library - with or without then changing any of the tag information that iTunes itself displays.

  • Best Way To Find Duplicate Songs in ITunes

    I have 3000+ songs in ITunes. I know I have a few duplicates. What is the best way to find them? Just sort by name and look? Or is there a simpler way?
    Thanks.

    Oh crap <insert egg on face here>
    I am so used to Windows MEdia Player, that I must have just skimmed over the menus.
    Thanks!

  • How to delete duplicate songs in itunes

    After adding my music folder to iTunes all the songs are duplicated.  Is there an easy way to clean this up?
    Thanks!

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • How to find unauthorized songs in iTunes??

    I synced my iPod today and was surprised to see that upon sync completition, a window popped up telling me there were 100 songs that were not transferred to my iPod because they were not authorized on my computer.
    I selected one song and found that I did in fact have to manually authorize it. Unfortunately, in doing os, I closed the window that told me the other 99 songs that had issues.
    I re-synced my iPod in hopes it would come back, but it did not.
    Is there any way to have itunes tell you about unauthorized songs in your library? iTunes version 7.5.0.20.

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • How do I find duplicate songs which the latest itunes libary update does not show?

    How do you find duplicate songs in itunes which the latest updated version of itunes does not show, where the older version did?

    =Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
    Try activating the sidebar, menu bar, and status bar and see if this is close enough to the previous version to make you content.  It is easier than downgrading and eventually you will be forced to run a newer iTunes unless you have an endless supply of the model computer you currently own.
    You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404).  Alternatively:
    Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
    Quit iTunes.
    Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394.  Do steps 3 and 4.  Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential.  Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7.  Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved.  Two ways to do this are:
    1.  (Easier) Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
    2. (More work) Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
        Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
        After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7.  I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
    AirTrafficHost.framework
    CoreFP.framework
    DeviceLink.framework
    iTunesAccess.framework
    MobileDevice.framework
    After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl"  and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

    Other issues:
    - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20432309 - solution to mobile devices saying they need to be restored after downgrading
    - If you encounter error -42408:

    Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).  A  variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

  • How do I find duplicate songs/files in iTunes 11?

    How do I find duplicate songs/files in iTunes 11?
    Earlier versions of iTunes had a simple menu option to click on.
    All duplicates would then be listed. Cannot find this option now.
    Regards ..... blayk.

    If you want to free up your memory, maybe first checking to see if you got duplicates. -
    From the File menu in iTunes, choose Show Duplicates. iTunes will then list all of the duplicate titles in your library.
    If you delete a music in the iTunes folder, then when you try to play that particular music in your iTunes, it won't work as iTunes wouldn't be able to find it. However, when you import music on to your computer, always import straight into your iTunes, no where else.
