[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1797632, member: 83420"] Hi disturbed13, It may simply be shown as such because you have iTunes Music Library checked in iTunes > Preferences. My understanding, subject to correction, is that iTunes Music Library stores all your music in the iCloud by matching their library with yours thus saving a lot of upload time. But where it is impossible to find a perfect match in their library, they upload your version of a song which then has the iCloud icon adjacent to it. In that sense, it's not a true duplicate. Incidentally, you can hide these iCloud icons by opening iTunes > View > "Only Downloaded Music", as in this screenshot: [ATTACH=FULL]28352[/ATTACH] It's quite interesting to toggle between "all Music" and "Only Downloaded Music" to see the difference.
