[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1797630, member: 131855"] There can be numerous reasons for duplicate tracks in iTunes. Here's an example where [URL="https://www.macworld.com/article/2998245/streaming-media/ask-the-itunes-guy-rebuilding-an-itunes-library-dealing-with-duplicate-playlists.html"]iTunes Match and Apple Music[/URL] seem to be a contributing factor. Kirk McElhearn has written extensively about iTunes for MacWorld I bet you can find somethning useful there. Post back and let us know a bit more about your situation and when you are seeing the problem. I bet we can find a solution. BTW If you look at your iTunes library in Album view do any of the duplicate albums/tracks have a cloud and downward facing arrow on them? If so this is an inddication that the material exists in both the clould and on your hard drive. They're not actually taking up double the space. Edit: I had a massive problem with duplicate tracks and it was quite a pain to deal with. I'll see if I can find the article Kirk wrote that helped me deal with it. [/QUOTE]
