Delete Duplicate iTunes songs?

A new build of DeDuper has now been uploaded which can optionally remove smaller versions of the same track on the assumption that the largest will be the best quality version which should be preserved. There is also a new feature to preserve playlist membership.

Thats brilliant. Worked like a charm! Then I just used this script here to remove all the dead tracks from my library.

In case anyone is still searching the web for a quick FREE easy way to accomplish deleting duplicates in the event you either dragged the same albums into your iTunes folder OR you imported using .m3u's, and you cannot delete using the Date Sort Method, simply open up a finder window and navigate to your iTunes folder, search for "1.mp3" and this will return results for all the duplicate named files in your entire folder since iTunes does nothing more than rename the file the original name plus a 1 or 2+(if you have more than 1 dupe). Make sure you dont have track names that end with 1.mp3 2.mp3, etc. (I had none). Good luck, hope this helps someone else out. Saved me from sorting through 1,600+ files.

(example: greatsong.mp3 gets renamed

greatsong1.mp3

greatsong2.mp3(if it was duped twice, and so on))

Used DCGods method and i deleted a bunch of dupes and cleared up some HD space, thank you.

But now, i have a bunch of dead tracks in my itunes library, is there anyway to remove them without buying the above script?

Go to http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ and search for removedeadsuper. Currently any directly links to particular scripts from external sites are being redirected to the TrackSift page. That said, $1.99 looks like a steal.

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you. When you import an album, those **** .m3u files duplicate everything.

That was very helpful. Thanks!

THANKS DCGoD !!!

No other program has worked.

Your way was the best way.

I've been searching for years pulling my hair out.

Thanks ! 🙂

uggg still got all the duplicates I deleted..... HELP !!!! 😢
