Sick of seeing duplicate songs in iTunes? It seems to happen all the time when i download mix tapes (free legal ones of course). Luckily for us, iTunes provides two features for removing duplicate songs that are really easy to use, and shouldn’t take too long (unless you have a lot of dupes). The first feature just looks for similar songs with a similar length and title, while the second is a bit more complicated and looks for exact duplicates, meaning the same name, album, length, etc. Here is how it works.
Display duplicate songs in iTunes
Navigate to “File -> Show Duplicates” and iTunes will show you all similar songs, but not necessarily ”exact duplicates”
Display EXACT duplicate songs in iTunes
Just as easy as the above, but you must hold down the Alt / Option key while selecting Show Duplicates in the File menu.
