Duplicate Songs

[kirkie]

I have done a search of how to remove duplicatetracks on iTunes and it all states that you have to

Open iTunes and click on "View" and "Show Duplicates."

Show duplicates is not showing on mine.

Has this been changed and if so how is it possible to do it now?

it bases duplicates off the exif data matching

I don't understand. What I am asking is how do I remove duplicates without physically going through thousands of tracks?

does your exif data match on the duplicates?
duplicates is based off of it being the same

you then have to look at every duplicate and choose to remove one, manually.

I was hoping that you could click on a link that said duplicate tracks and they would all be shown. Then you could highlight the ones to be deleted.

yes, it does this... if the exif data matches on both songs.

Can you tell me how to do this please?

When you are in itunes & you're hooked up via your iphone find your music & then right click & delete. It works for me.

Open iTunes, go to File, then down to Show Duplicates.
