How do I get back "duplicate" files that weren't really duplicates?
I found that my MacBook Pro had duplicated many, many song files when I xferred iTunes to my Mac when it was new. Well, 3 years later I finally decided the duplicate were taking too much space. I did a search for every file with an .M4p.1 (I think that was it) and found several hundred duplicates. I checked about 5 to be sure they were actually duped and satisfied I had assured I wasn't deleting single music files, I deleted a few hundred song files. And of course, now a bunch of songs I listen to regularly are missing.
Since Apple can't tell me why files appeared to be duplicates when they were not, can anyone tell me how to go back to the previous version with all the stupid "duplicates?"
Thanks.
