I would like to get help deleting duplicated songs, I do not know how they got their in the first place.
Windows 7
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. 🙂
I don't recall that prompt being part of my script. Was it perhaps a prompt from the Windows file system?
tt2
Yes, forgot to mention it. It was indeed from the Windows file system.

I wonder if those particular tracks were marked as read-only.

Thanks again tt2, worked like a charm! I was able to continue through several runtime errors with no problem.
Great. 🙂
