Music library

Why do I keep finding multiple copies of the same songs (M4P) in my Apple Music library? Sometimes 5 or 6 - or more - copies of the same song.

Mac mini (2018)

Hello jonothon,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


You might find multiple copies of the same song in your music library because that song will appear in it's original album, a compilation album, a movie soundtrack, etc. Or you may have imported the song more than once without realizing. You can use the following article to locate and delete duplicate items in Music: Find duplicate items in Music on Mac - Apple Support



Best regards.
