How To Sort Out Duplicate Tracks ?

[Booche]

Hi All,

Basically i want to sort out my music so i dont have duplicate tracks etc is there any software that will help me do this or is it a case of having to go through them all one by one and also to help sort them out in genres 50's, 60's, 70's etc

Cheers Dave

If you find out do let me know

iTunes has a "show duplicates" option. Just select them and delete them from your hard drive

I use 'Easy Duplicate Finder' - does exactly what it says on the tin

Mind you, I haven't tried it out on music files, but I'm sure it would work OK. There are sometimes slight differences in file sizes due to ID3 tagging, I'm not sure if it would pick those up?

All my music is stored in itunes, so I've also used this a number of times.

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.

Library>Files to edit> duplicate titles. Perhaps you're on the free version? It's lacking a few valuable bells and whistles.
