Help with deleting cloned songs

Good morning all. I shall start with a short story.
I have a mac installed with Tiger and decided to start a new user account. After doing so I wanted to import all the songs from my old user account to this account. To do this I copied the iTunes music folder to the Public folder and went into my new account, opened iTunes, chose "Add to library.." etc.

The problem is:
All the songs have cloned (copied) themselves. This means that I have two of each song with the second of the two ending with "1.mp3"

Is there some sort of way I can delete just the copied songs, using a app like Automator or do I have to deal each of the 2000 songs manually.

Any help would be appreciated to the max.

check out an app called iDupe. It seeks out duplicates in your iTunes music and helps you easily delete them
