how to delete duplicated songs all at one time?

Turn off the display of iTunes in the Cloud items (Edit > Preferences > Store) and/or repair permissions...

Do you get the same error as TomQA mentioned here: Re: how to delete duplicated songs all at one time?

Or something else? Can you test with a smaller group of tracks?

Lost & Found Playlists

1. Create a playlistcalled Found (Use File > New > Playlist, then name it Found)
2. Select everything in Music (use the Songs view) and drag it into the Found playlist (it may take some time to count the tracks that are to be dropped).
3. Create a smart playlist (Use File > New > Smart Playlist) add a second rule by pressing the + symbol and edit the playlist so it matches the illustration below. Once you click OK to save the rules you can name the smart playlist Lost.

With Music selected under Library in the iTunes source list, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Display Duplicates. Select and delete the duplicates there.

Spotted a race condition error and have uploaded a new build which also catches track ratings. Working on the next phase.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have a look into that and get back as soon as I can.

Great, thanks for that. I'll post a revision up later. I'm on my iPad rather than at a PC just now...

probably my lack of tecnical expertise, but when I hit delete I don't think the underlying file gets deleted?

Yes, it is Option on a Mac, but Shift on Windows. This thread is primarily concerned with deduping in Windows. 🙂

No I hadn't. Please see clarification.

one more try got me a new message again:

line: 1060

Char: 7

Error: The Interface is unknown

code: 800706B5

source: (null)

Just to confirm the latest version of the DeDuper script works fine under Windows 7 with UAC enabled.

I'm understanding that you are refering to the itunes folder within libraries>music. the folder that i have consolidated everything into.

all of my permissions are already on full control.

Excellent news. 🙂
