so I have a problem, my itunes library got screwed up and there are now two copies of about 2700 songs on my computer. This takes up a good 20 GB and I'd like to get rid of them, the problem is I can't figure out a way to get rid of them without manually going through and deleting the songs.

 

any ideas?

you can delete multiple files at once you know. Just click, drag and delete.

yes the problem is that when I have the duplicate files arranged they are shown in one large folder, if I was to delete all of them I would lose both copies of the files, and to go through and select the ones that should be deleted would take hours.

organize the folder so you have 2(or any even number) columns. it should have organized so you have two identical colums. shift drag and delete one of the columns.

Been there. Try "Corral All Dupes" http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts01.php?page=2#corralitunesdupes

 

It creates a playlist of the duplicates, so you can select all and then delete. If you're using a Mac.

I tried that but it looks like it placed both the originals and the duplicates in there, if I selected all and deleted I'd lose about 2000 songs
