Duplicates on iphone after a sync

I performed a Sync from my Iphone XS on my Windows 11 and now have duplicates of every song on my iphone. How do I get back to only one of each, without deleting 1 by 1?

iPhone XS, iOS 15

I'm afraid you will have to do it one by one. As far as I know, only iTunes for PC and Music for Mac can find duplicates in the library.

Find items and duplicates in iTunes on PC - Apple Support

Find duplicate items in Music on Mac - Apple Support

You might be better off clearing everything from your iPhone's Music, then re-syncing it with your computer (assuming every song on your iPhone is also on your PC).

Try Edit > Preferences > Devices > Reset Sync History (if available) and then try syncing once more.

If that hasn't helped try signing out of the iTunes Store on the device and then try again.

Otherwise see this post on erratic syncing.
