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.

This is a great script! Is there any way to also run this with OSX?
Turingtest2 you are a genius! I saw somewhere you have a Paypal account for donations; could you send me a link to it?
I'm glad it helped. 🙂
There's really no need for a donation, but it is sweet of you to offer.

H do you have the link to the deduper software
HI where can I get the software for deduper or the link to downlaod it
When I run your deduper I get there's no default app. If I run it from applescript editor, I get syntax error A '/" can't got here. Can you help me?
Applescript? DeDuper is for Windows only I'm afraid, not OS X. 😟
Try Dupin or Dupin Lite from Doug's Scripts.

Oh no wonder. Thanks. I found one on apple store for $5. It worked gr8! It's called song deduper.
I was hoping you might give me an error line so I could track down the problem. I guess I will just have to create some duplicates to test with.

TT2,
My system would show no error, it would just give two error sounds and then stop sending items to the recycling bin.
Thanks,
Hmm. Thanks. I shall have to check the code around the recycling routine to see if it is set to ignore errors. 😕
