HT2905 Duplicate songs from Google Play download

I use Google's Google Play and I made the mistake of Downloading my Library from the Google play Music Manager in my (early 2011) MacBook Pro's System Preferences after I already had my music library in iTunes so now I have a duplicate of every single song and not sure how to delete them. I tried using the the advice offered on here where I sort all music based on DATE but every song has the same date and about the same time so that won't work for me. Other then downloading a paid program I'm not sure what my options here are. That being said, let me know if anyone know what options other then paying for a program to do this for me or worse... having me click on every single duplicate song individually until I finish?
Thank you

If you encoded your music in iTunes, it's probably encoded using AAC files rather than MP3. Google re-encodes all music into MP3 before it downloads your library. Right click in the sort columns of your iTunes music library and add "Kind" to the sort list. You will be able to see which ones are AAC, Purchased AAC, etc. and which ones are MPEG. Delete all the MPEG ones because those are from google.
This won't help much if your music was encoded using MP3 instead of AAC.
You can also run a file search using Finder on your iTunes music directory and just delete the files that were created by Google.

  • I have 2 accounts in my family and would like to purchase some of the same songs for both accounts, however when I try to purchase a duplicate song from the second account the song says play instead of purchase. How can I get some of the same songs?

  • Error message when downloading from Google Play Store

    After recently doing the toshiba system update for my AT300-32gb tablet I now get the following error message when downloading free apps from Google Play Store -Error processing purchase {DF-BPA-13].
    Automatic update for downloaded apps no longer works either. Anyone have a solution to this? 

    Go into your settings and touch "apps" on the left. Then touch "Google Play services" and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache." Then touch "Apps" again on the left. Now do the same for the "Google Play Store" entry. Then hold down the power button until it asks if you want to turn it off. Go ahead and turn off the tablet. Then turn it back on and try again.

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • Download from google play infected w. redirector

    Several days ago I downloaded ff from Google Play (as navigated to by a button at Mozilla site) for my Galaxy S4.
    I was initially using the Android browser.
    After installation, I chose 'Open' and ff opened and I navigated to Google, entered a search, got a legitimate hit list, but all attempts to navigate to hits were redirected to bogus locations.
    I immediately uninstalled ff.
    There were no addons.
    Is there a way I can install directly from Mozilla vs. Google Play?

    Hi to download versuons og firefox you may have to play around with that link and the directories. There are security risks by doing this that way and i recomend downloading over a swcure network from the play store. https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/25.0.1/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2025.0.1.exe

  • HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

  • HT2905 How to remove duplicate songs from the iPhone when the duplicates are not listed in the iTunes library on the computer.

    How can I remove duplicate songs from the iPhone4. The duplicates are not listed in the computer iTunes library.

    The simplest thing may be to back-up and then restore the iPhone. If you don't fancy that then remove all media that is currently synced to it, then double check and manually remove any media that remains on the device, before reselecting your sync options.
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Should I remove duplicate songs from itunes before connecting new ipad2

    Bought new iPad2.  New to Apple.  Have to connect to iTunes.  Should I remove all duplicate songs from iTunes first, before connecting new iPad 2?

    Download the zip, and run the program you find: http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/01/31/easier-to-use-itunes-scripts/
    If you're leery and want more references, do a search for "Quickscripts" and you'll see what people have to say about it!
    Good luck!

  • CreatePDF Mobile is missing from Google Play store, how do I get it?

    http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/createpdf-mobile.html
    If you follow the link above and try download this app for Android you will find it is a broken link.  Also it is not possible to download this app from Google Play directly as it appears to be missing.  I had a long discussion with the support team Case#0209718698 who suggested I seek help here.  This is very frustrating.  They've suggested I post on this forum, does anyone have a way to purchase this app?  Can't believe I have to post here for help when all I want to do is purchase an app, its not usually this hard to give someone money.
    Thanks for all your help!
    -Bee

    Just to add - I just finished on the phone with a very helpful gal from Google.  She confirms that this app has been removed from the store but she can't tell if it was Google or Adobe that removed it.  Either way advertising something on a site that can't be purchased is frustrating.  Would really appreciate a fix

  • How to download duplicate songs from album "A" and album "B" in iTunes

    Hello!
    In iTunes I've bought Album "A" that has "track 2."  More recently I purchased Album "B" which also has "track 2" but it will not download stating that I already have it as part of Album "A."  I would really like to only have the newer album on my device but since it's missing that track, it's kind of disappointing.  I've looked through several options in iTunes and tried various Google phrases but I can't seem to find an answer so that I can make "track 2" appear in both album "A" and "B."  Any help would be much appreciated - thanks!

    Never seen this before. They are different tracks from different albums (even if they are the same song). It's no different than buying a regular album and a greatest hits album. The greatest hits will have 2-3 songs from the regular album but you still get all the tracks on the greatest hits.
    Which albums & song?
    Both of these are purchased in iTunes store?
