Multiple duplicates in Itunes

[jfizzle4321]

I have my Itunes library stored on my external HDD and there are anywhere from 2 - 5 copies of each song. When I import any music, itunes is showing each copy. Is there an easy efficient way to eliminate the duplicates?

I had multiple problems with my iTunes library including duplicate tracks. iTunes way of showing duplicates is not the best. I recommend using a duplicate remover tool. I found about such a program from youtube via the following: Delete duplicates in iTunes.

The app is free and it helped me get rid of iTunes duplicates.

Ya I have well over 4000 duplicates. I tried to do what you recommended nikorr but it didn't work because they're all showing the same date as they're on an external.

Peter, thank you for sharing your experience. The app described in the video is a lifesaver.
