Remove iTunes Duplicates

If you have ever moved your iTunes library (say, to an external drive) or rearranged your music folders than you have run in to this problem.  iTunes maintains its own database of information about your music files and expects you to make all changes to songs via iTunes.  Moving song files outside of iTunes causes iTunes to “lose” your songs – it thinks the songs in the new location are completely new songs and it can no longer find your old songs (because they were moved).  Lame, I know.

TidySongs make it easy to remove iTunes duplicates.  A duplicates feature is built in to iTunes – but it only finds songs with exactly the same information and won’t remove them for you.  You have to click and delete each one by hand and your out of luck if you have duplicates that are spelled slightly differently.  TidySongs makes all this easy.
