iTunes maintenance

Hi Apple Community,

I have a question about iTunes maintenance. I have it installed on a pc and my collection is rather big and maintenance has been at a minimum for too long.

However I seem to have many duplicates; straighforward copies of the same songs. Instead of deleting them one by one; is there a more structural solution for this problem?

Many thanks for your help.

Management of the location of songs in iTunes Mac Hello everyone, I just made a fantastic new discovery: when I drag a song into the iTunes window, regardless of the Preferences chosen, the song will go into a "music" folder, rather than surreptitiously going to store nicely in the artist's folder already present in my base folder. Same when I have to search for a song that has lost its link. In addition, impossible to register as before additional information in the tag of the piece: it will not be found in the same piece, but I discover on closer inspection, that are in the same folder: the piece of original plus a copy of the song with the addition I made!!! Morality, I have already evacuated, ONE AT A TIME (sic!) 2 T of duplicates, while pieces continue to be added to this famous 'music' folder. I've been in a divorce from iTunes for two ages now and of course no one on the hotline seems to know about any of this, so any observations haven't been escalated to the devs, the problems persist, and worse, they're getting worse . How do you do, those like me who have to go through the throes of this program which should be our beloved Apple's best ever? Thank you for your attention and all the best.
