How To: Manage duplicate songs in iTunes
iTunes has many useful features that make it one of the best music managers out there. Even better is that both mac and PC users can take advantage of it's feature set. One of the hidden utilities in iTunes is the ability to view duplicate files. The reason you may want to do this is if you have CD's from one artist that perhaps has the same song on both. Duplicate songs take up extra space and also can throw off any smart playlists you have if you're constantly alternating between which version you're listening to.
To view all duplicate files, click View, Show Duplicates. At this point your library will only show the duplicate files. You can now go through the files and delete anything you have that isn't needed. It's recommended to listen to the tracks first, just to be sure you're not removing a song that has a live version or an alternate version you like. Some songs can be named the same thing but sound different when listening.
By going through this area, you free up space and keep your library neat and organized.
