[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 276741, member: 13565"] There's an option in iTunes>View>Show Duplicates. This will give you the option to clean out your library. Just make sure you play each one to determine which are safe to delete. There most probably will be dead links in there and you don't want to accidentally delete the active link and keep the dead one. (been there done that) If you import a file or a folder of music into iTunes either through the iTunes menu function or by dragging to the iTunes icon in the Dock, the file/files are added to the iTunes folder on your Hard Disc. This will mean you will have duplicates if you also keep the original folder/file. Look in iTunes/Preferences/Advanced/General and see if there's a tick in the box for "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". [/QUOTE]
