Ezekiel 25:17
I went through and deleted loads of duplicate tracks, using various methods including iTunes duplicate check and also sorting by track title and deleting manually.
Then realised I often search for particular compilation cd's (especially disco, motown and funk) for inspiration - but had deleted many of the tracks from them, some only had 3 or 3 tracks left - so put them all back in! At some point I'll get around to making my own playlists so will be able to get rid of the dupes again!
Also be careful you know what version of the tune you are leaving yourself with - you could end up cueing a track and then realising it's a really bad live version!

However, I've discovered it doesn't always work, as clicking on "show duplicates" comes up with nothing, but when scrolling through my music, I sometimes notice the odd duplicate, but I've no idea why these aren't always picked up.
Usually spelling and punctuation marks in one of the fields is different ie if the artist is listed Tina Turner on one copy and Turner Tina on the other this could be the problem or maybe The Who on one copy and Who on the other etc etc

I didn't know Media Monkey had that function. I learn something new every day.
I've used Vistinita Duplicate Finder in the past. Does just what it says on the tin.

That was indeed one reason why many of my duplicate tracks were not picked out my itunes, but there have been many more examples where the artist & title fields are 100% identical, but itunes still fails to recognise them as duplicates.

Here is another vote for Itunes

I find that sometimes finding duplicates isnt all that its cracked up to be. I tend to put well known frequently used songs into folders made up of genres (ie, 60s, party, motown etc) but i find that sometimes i have a whole album (for example the best of) that i frequently use certain tracks from but like to keep the whole album. However i dont want to take away the more used tracks from the album as then i have an incomplete album with tracks all over the place so i tend to copy a track from the album and put it in a genre folder.

I love media monkey, but the only problems are:
Not available for Mac
Have to sync with iTunes to allow Virtual DJ to pick them up
Not able to sync Apple IOS 5, it was brilliant when IOS 4.
Media Monkey is great as it allows me to file music with my preferences which you can not do in iTunes.

Peter kindly introduced me to MM but the trouble is it does not find duplicates and put them in a folder.
I was enthusiastic to start.
BUT
You have to trawl from A to Z to find them.
I gave up--HD space is so big now who cares IF I have 35 versions of 9 to 5 and 23 of YMCA?
