How to remove large numbers of exact duplicates?
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 9:12 pm
Hi all,
While testing the import playlist function from Itunes I ended up duplicating my entire iTunes part of my collection ( I mistakingly thought I read something years ago that exact duplicates don't get imported). Now I am trying to find a way to remove them.
If I do a 'Show Duplicates' it happily provides the list for me, but I can only delete them from the duplicates collection that way; not my actual library.
Any ideas ?
Ps. an enhancement to not import iTunes information which is identical (with the possible exception of 'last played' information) to existing records would make ongoing maintenance far simpler ..
Regards, Colin
