This question has been asked many times before, but the remedies don't apply to my iOS version (15.1.1) or iTunes on a PC (12.12.2.2). I don't subscribe to Apple Music.
I have a new iPhone 13 Pro. On my first setup, it copied my iTunes library correctly. Then I made some changes to my library on my PC, and on the next sync it duplicated every song on the iPhone. I can't delete them or update them.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
Hi elt38,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that you have duplicate music your iPhone after syncing your device in iTunes. You can see how to find duplicates using the link below.

Have a nice day.
elt38,
At this point we'd recommend that you connect with Apple at Get Support for additional assistance regarding this matter.
Take care.
You appear to have read my question correctly ("We understand that you have duplicate music your iPhone") but you are not giving me the right answer. The link you gave me shows how to remove duplicates in iTunes on a PC. It's even in the link name "Find items and duplicates in iTunes on PC". Please tell me how to remove duplicates on my iPhone that do not show up as duplicates when I sync to iTunes on my PC. I can only see the duplicates in the iPhone music app.
The songs are mixture of iTunes purchases and uploaded from CDs. I always keep a local copy.
Syncing the music again makes no difference: The duplicates remain on the iPhone, and the songs shown in iTunes on the PC continue to show no duplicates.
elt38,
Are these songs that were purchased in iTunes or uploaded from CDs? If you sync your music again, what happens?
Kind regards.
Duplicate music on my iPhone but not iTunes
