Two Method to Show Duplicates in iTunes 11
How to show and remove duplicate items in iTunes library? This guide will introduce two shareware iTunes duplicate finders in detail.
Show Exact Duplicate Items in iTunes library
To manage duplicate songs in iTunes library, Apple offers users an ability to find duplicate items in iTunes 11. Make sure you have updated to the latest version. Go to "iTunes" menu and choose "Check for Updates". If you get the latest version of iTunes, go forward to "View"->"Show Duplicate Items". However, the iTunes library duplicates finder doesn't work with effect. It displays iTunes songs that share similar character string and can't match copies accurately. Don't worry, and you can hold the alt key on Mac OS X and select "View"->"Show Exact Duplicate Items". This option will display only duplicate mp3 songs with the same name, artist and album.
How to find and remove duplicate songs in iTunes library? It seems that this problem has been easily solved by the iTunes duplicates finder. But just don't make a hasty decision. Although iTunes library displays duplicate items, you have to compare these items according to track length, play count and so on. To determine which songs you would like to remove one by one, I think it will be a boring manual process. It's not so easy for us to manage duplicates in the iTunes library. I strongly wish Apple Company repaired this iTunes library bug. I suggest that our users should send this comment to Apple official website.
The second method is to take the third party program. Imelfin Tunes Cleaner cleans up iTunes duplicates with only one "Remove Duplicates" button. It offers a friendly user interface and searches for duplicates in iTunes. Most of all, it will help you save much time to quickly delete duplicates in iTunes.
