I haven't managed the files in my iTunes for a long long time, and there are so many duplicates, any easy and fast ways to remove them?

iTunes has the built-in feature to find and delete duplicate items.

  • 1. Open iTunes. Choose Songs in the Library section.
  • 2. Go to the menu bar, choose File > Library >Show Duplicate Items.

User uploaded file

3. Select the duplicate item you want to delete. From the menu bar, go to Song > Delete.


But in iTunes, the duplicates can be only deleted one by one, if you need delete duplicates smartly, find a 3rd party duplicate remover, and hope this list help: https://www.cisdem.com/resource/5-best-itunes-duplicate-remover-for-mac.html
