Best way to remove duplicates in iTunes?

With Music selected in iTunes (in the upper left-hand corner), click on File -> Display Duplicates on the menu bar. That will display a list of all the duplicates in your library. Be cautious about removing duplicates; however, as iTunes only looks at the track name and the artist when identifying whether a song is a duplicate and if you have more than one version of a song (i.e. live, studio, dance mix, etc.) you risk removing those additional versions.

Gatorsfan,

There's a good article on the Macworls website on how to identify exact duplicates in your iTunes library. You can see the article at:
