Q: Why music bought from the itunes is showing as double on playlists?
I buy most of my songs from itunes, and then convert them straight away to mp3 (cos not all the programs I use can understand apple-form).
After this if I insert any of there bought and converted songs to a playlist, they show there as a double... other one being the mp3 and other one as a cloud-version.
On the main music page this doenst happen, but when I go to any playlist containing converted files... there they are... in double!more
Here´s a picture to more specifically show what Im trying to say here.

They are there because purchased items are shown on your iTunes library, whether they are downloaded or not. They are being accessed from iCloud, as indicated by the cloud symbol next to songs. When you create a new version of a song that is MP3, it is seen as a different song by iTunes from the AAC version purchased from iTunes Store. Therefore, both are shown.
To not show those purchased songs in your iTunes library, you can hide them, so that they no longer appear as purchased items
