Merging duplicate iTunes Playlists

Hi there,

I have recently noted that my iTunes account has duplicated all my playlists. I would like to merge them all back into one playlist and remove the duplicates incase there are different songs in each playlist. How can I go about doing this?

Thanks

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Hi Kel,

This should be pretty easy. Select all the tracks in one of the duplicated lists, and drag them into the other in the sidebar. You'll get a warning that reads: "There are duplicates being added to the playlist. Would you like to add the duplicates or skip them?"

Choose Skip, and only the non-duplicated tracks will be added. Then you can safely delete the first list (the one you dragged from).

Cheers
