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.
You're welcome. 🙂
Still haven't had a change to test it myself on Windows 8...

Hi, i am having an issue with the DeDuper script. After identifying what tracks need removed, the script tosses out an error
Line : 375
Char: 39
error: object required: 'T'
code: 800a01a8
help?
I never have cloud idems vissable, onand i have only been working in the main music folder. It comes up with the error reguardless of if i select 100 ttracks, or 2.
If you like i can try that. I am not much one with the coding, what should i use to edit the line?

I am not worried aobut it. the email account is almost twenty years old so all the spam places pretty much have it 😝 OK, i will go give it a shot and see if it changes anything.
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for that script. I had been dreading dealing with those dupes in my library and the script made them a breeze! You're my hero tt2!
You're welcome. 🙂

When I go to the link to http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp the link for deduper takes me to a text file. What steps must I take to make that text file an executable script?
Right-click and use Download or Save As...

Hi turingtest2,
Any luck looking into that script? Thanks
Hi tt2 - I am having an issue with line 467 and char 55. It says the track is not modifiable. How do I fix this?
Okay so here's the thing, with the recycle bin box unchecked when deleting files ON my laptop via Windows Explorer, I dont get a delet confirmation alert but do when the file is on the NAS.
Thanks for your script. It helped me get out of the mess I had created. You are a genius ! Is there a similar script or Program that works in Mac ?
