Why should we duplicate songs on my iPad?

Duplicates songs are annoying when you listen repeatedly the same song on iPad. And the duplicates on iPad take up much more system memory and disk space. It's not so easy to find the songs you would like to play because the media player's library is full of duplicates songs. If duplicates songs are also on your iTunes library or the computer, you should remove duplicate songs from iTunes, and sync iTunes songs to your iPad again. To make room for new apps, movies and documents, in this article I show you to remove duplicate songs on iPad in the 3 ways.

Delete duplicate songs from iPad directly

• 1. Launch the Music player app on iPad (iPad) ;
• 2. Find a duplicate song you want to delete and slide to the left over the song title;
• 3. Then the red "delete" button will show, and tap it to delete a song from iPad without itunes directly.

If you can't delete songs from the music app in iOS 7, you can back up all songs by transferring all songs to computer (hard drive, iCloud) with iTunes library. Then delete all songs from iPad (iPhone). Navigate to launch the Settings app on iPad—>General—>Usage—> Storage—>Music—>Edit—>Delete. All the songs on the iPad should be gone. Now delete duplicate songs on the backup device (computer/hard drive/iCloud) before you sync songs to your iPad again.

Tips: If the method cannot work out your problem, try the next two methods with ease.
