Some how I got duplicates of my library on iTunes and to get rid of all the new duplicates I went to the library I looked for the date the new duplicate songs were added to the library then I went to columns and where you see Artist, song,
bit rate, time, etc and added 'date added' once that's done click on the box enclosing 'date added' and you will see all songs added by date. Proceed to the last one of the songs with that date press command to highlight it then scroll all the way to the first song and press 'shift' to highlight all of the songs added on that date then simply press delete.
you will be asked if you want to delete these songs...That's it.

That is possible. I'll play around with it and try exploring it a bit with smart playlists. Thanks for the tip.

While trying to delete so many duplicates, I'm getting the error
"cant find script engine"vbscript" for script" ..... destination of script....".
please help.
I've tried with with cloud purchaces off as well but alas still no avail. It is a strange one :/
Hey,
Did this and it works perfectly. Selected one album and it de-duped from 22 songs down to 11.
I'll gradually increase the sample size and see when it starts bugging out.
How can I do this script on my Mac?
I'm busy with some other projects right now, but I'll try to take a look at this and see what I can come up with as a workaround in the next few days. Feel free to nudge me.

Sweet! Thank you both for the tip . . . I'll check out Dougscripts to see what I can find.
I had to post to say a big thanks to turingtest2 for his script. It's saved me so much time and hassle sorting my itunes files out! Really appreciate your hard work and sharing it with us.
