By searching on Google, there're abundant such kind of iTunes duplicate remover software apps available. I would like to recommend 6 iTunes song duplicate remover to help you find and delete song duplicates in iTunes in the below content. <\/p>\n
1. iTunes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
![\"iTunes\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" "\\"iTunes\\"")
<\/a><\/p>\niTunes 11 and later versions<\/strong> now allow could show users the duplicate items for users to preview and delete. Choose "View > Show Duplicate Items<\/strong>" to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose "View > Show Exact Duplicate Items<\/strong>". This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album. Then, duplicate songs would be sorted and displayed for you to review and select what to remove. Click the item to select it. Then remove the duplicate item by choosing "Edit > Delete". This would help you easily delete song duplicates in iTunes. But if you get a big amount of duplicates, this might cost you much time.<\/p>\n
2. Tunes Cleaner<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
Tunes Cleaner<\/strong><\/a> is a professional iTunes duplicate remover program that could easily and quickly find duplicate songs in iTunes for deleting in a few simple clicks. It offens 2 song duplicate scanning modes: Quick Scan and Deep Scan. Quick Scan helps you easily find song duplicates in iTunes based on song tags like artist, album, name, file size and time, while Deep Scan adopts Acoustic Fingerprint technology to achieve deeper and more accurate scanning. The found duplicate songs in iTunes could be previewed, and selected for deleting. This Tunes Cleaner also offers one-click operation for you to remove iTunes duplicate songs as well.<\/p>\n
3. TuneUp<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nTuneUp<\/strong> is another well-known iTunes cleaner and organizer, supporting quick duplicates removal, missing info (such as song titles, artists, etc.) fixing and album cover retrieving. Compared to later released programs, TuneUp seems to be a little pricely and less automatic. It does save a lot of time, but you still have to finish some operations to utterly clean up your iTunes library, such as manual dragging files to this program from iTunes.<\/p>\n
4. CopyTrans TuneTastic<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nCopyTrans TuneTastic<\/strong> intelligently identifies iTunes duplicates versus the original tracks. You can therefore easily and safely get rid of the duplicate songs while keeping the originals. It is a simple, yet powerful solution for setting apart duplicate iTunes songs from their original counterparts. An advanced algorithm classifies original iTunes songs along with their duplicates according to the time each track was added, the most played track, whether the track was ever rated, etc. CopyTrans TuneTastic then advises you which song to keep - overall best track - and which song you can safely delete - the duplicate.<\/p>\n
5. Tunes Sweeper<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nTunes Sweeper<\/strong> is an essential iTunes clean-up program which enables you to find and remove duplicate tracks in your iTunes library. Tune Sweeper scans iTunes for duplicate tracks based on your preferred search criteria, such as matching track names, artist, and album. It will then choose one version to keep and the unwanted files will be marked for removal. All you need do then is simply confirm the files you wish to keep, following which all your unwanted duplicates will be magically removed and your music library cleaned. Optionally, tracks removed from iTunes are backed up for safe keeping.<\/p>\n
6. Rinse<\/strong><\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nRinse is a lightweight and simple program to delete duplicates in iTunes, which also supports complete adding and fixing of tracks, artists as well as album data. On the other hand, however, I have to mention that it is not that stable when using. At times, it makes the iTunes library even worse by removing non-duplicate songs (with the same title but by different artists) or mix-fixing the originally correct song or album info. Many customers also complain about its helpless customer service.<\/p>\n
