What is the easiest and fastest way to remove duplicates from my iTunes library?

There are couple of options: - Corral iTunes Dupes v1.0 (free) dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp... This script will check your iTunes library for all instances of tracks which have the same user-selected criteria (name, album, artist, size, and so on) then assemble those tracks into a discrete "Dupes" playlist. Once corralled, you can decide which can stay or go. - Dupin ($15) dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/dupin.php It is paid better features of Corral iTunes Dupes Some of the features: # Quickly find all sets of duplicate iTunes tracks based on your choice of criteria # Select the "Keeper" tracks from among a number of duplicates automatically using a variety of versatile filtering options # NEW!

- consolidate the play, skip, and ratings information from all tracks in a Dupe Group to the single "Keeper" track # NEW! - re-populate iTunes playlists replacing "non-Keeper" tracks with "Keeper" tracks # Purge duplicate tracks from iTunes and send files to the Trash # Manage intentionally duplicated tracks - Better iTunes song deduping (free) http://www.opensourceconnections.com/2006/11/11/better-itunes-song-deduping/ This is essentially 'hacked' version of Corral iTunes Dupes. According to the author: s version uses some wicked fast PERL to find all the duplicate songs based on info in the Library, and then puts them all in a Dupes playlist.

However, I wanted to filter by Name, Artist, and Album, and have a single playlist where I could delete in one fell swoop all the duplicates. So I tweaked his AppleScript to have another prompt that asks if you want all dupes to go in the playlist, or just copies 2…X to go in. - Phelix 1.1.7 (free) - also available for XP, Vista and Universal Web Launcher http://www.pekarna.si/ http://www.pekarna.si/deploy/apps/Phelix_MacOSX.

Dmg Phelix is a duplicates removal tool with acoustical audio matcher. Goal of the application is to find duplicated audio files insidie selected folders. Duplicates with bad or missing music-tags but same or similar sound will be detected by audio matcher.

Audio matcher will detect duplicates even if audio signals are shifted; started at different moments; if audio signals are ripped with different bit rates; if audio signals are ripped with different volumes. - iDupe ($8) http://www.woodenbrain.com/products/idupe/idupe.html iDupe deals "Show Duplicates" in a smart way. Playlist entries which refer to exactly the same file and “dead tracks” are treated as unambiguously undesirable.

Other potential duplicates are ranked according to a number of criteria, which include whether a song is likely to be a loose single, what the best bit rate is, etc.

Super easy. Just go to the upper left and hit File -> Show Duplicates. You will see any song with multiple copies and you can delete until there's only one of each song.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
