You can find every instance of a song by the same artist anywhere in your iTunes library. For example, the same song could appear on the artist’s album and on a movie soundtrack.

You can also search for exact duplicates, in which the song, artist, album, and version are all the same (if, for example, you inadvertently imported the song twice).

Select an item and do one of the following:

  • Find every instance of a song by the same artist from any album in your library: Choose File > Library > Show Duplicate Items.
  • Find exact duplicates: Hold down the Option key and choose File > Library > Show Exact Duplicate Items.

To see all items again, choose File > Library > Show All Items.
