You can use iTunes itself to remove duplicates. Go to View - Show duplicate items. That option works OK, but sometimes it deletes the wrong files (like songs with the same title that are different releases of the same song). To fix that go to View - Show Exact Duplicates. Alternatively you can use a duplicate finder that has an iTunes mode, like Easy Duplicate Finder.
1. Open up iTunes program. 2. When the main screen pops up, click the "music", "movies" or "TV shows" to select the right library. 3. Directly drag & drop your media files to the corrosponding library. Done!
The best way to remove duplicate iTunes files is to manually delete them on the computer. This entails going through an entire playlist and manually deleting each duplicate entry.
Apple only allows us to import iTunes to iPhone, not add iPhone to iTunes library. If you want to add your files from iPhone to iTunes, you have to use a third party program.
If you copy files to iTunes Library, you will have 2 copies of the file on your computer. iTunes can play files that are not in the iTunes Library. It makes a link to them, like an alias. For example, if you download a song, it might be in your downloads folder. If you let iTunes copy it to the iTunes Library, it will be in your downloads folder and your iTunes Library. If you delete the song from the downloads folder, it will still be in your iTunes Library, and iTunes can still play it. If you don't copy it to your iTunes Library, and delete it from the downloads folder, iTunes will not be able to play it. You should set up iTunes so that it takes care of the files the way you wish. Don't try to arrange the files yourself by dragging them or copying them yourself into the iTunes Library folder. If you do that you might not see them in iTunes because the iTunes database has not been updated by iTunes. This is also true if you move files between the iTunes album or artist folders. Let iTunes do it and it will maintain the database and you can play all your music.
I was once annoyed with duplicate songs in my iTunes library. Luckily I found a professional tool to delete them all at a time. Here you can follow the steps below to achieve it: 1. Download Music Cleanup and run it on your computer. Click "Start Scan" and all music in your iTunes library will be loaded to the program. 2. Click "Duplicated Songs" and you will see all the repeated items. 3. Then choose one song in the file tray and all files of the same song will show up in the right column. 4. Check those you want to get rid of and click "Clear Duplicate". The duplicated item will then be cleared from your iTunes library or local music folder.To delete all duplicates at once, click "Clear all Duplicate".
General way is selecting menu File -> Display Duplicates to list out all duplicated tracks, and remove them from iTunes, BUT this will not delete the file actually. To delete the files as well as removing them from iTunes library, you need to do it manually or use other apps like iTunes Duplicates Cleaner.
