Songs keep duplicating

So I keep deleting them but they keep coming back. I'm not sure why but its getting really annoying. Say I want to listen to a entire album in the car now I'm constantly having to press skip ahead after every song.

Its the EXACT same song. Not a live version vs recording etc. I keep deleting the extra copies but everytime they keep coming back on my phone. The only thing I can think of is when i charge it to my pc. I found an article that said go to view, my music, show duplicate songs etc but its a pretty outdated article it looks like b/c the format of itunes on the pc looks nothing like that anymore.

Hello, chronos06.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you have music on your iPhone that is duplicated. It does sound like the music is duplicated on your Mac and automatically syncing when you connect it to your computer. I would recommend deleting the duplicate media as outlined in the troubleshooting article that you located. The same steps apply even though the interface may be slightly different.

Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
