Any quickfire way to delete duplicates on iTunes?

    My library is in an awful state at the moment, some songs duplicated as much as 5 times... I have no notion of manually selecting the ones I dont want as i did it once before two years ago and it took over half a day..

    Is there any spam free programs on the net that will do a job on this for me?

    Not free, but worth $15 if it took you half a day last time around:

    Have you used it?
    Does it work?
    How easy or difficult is it to use?

    Was there not an option in iTunes to select 'Delete Duplicates' from one of the toolbar options somewhere. Could've swore there was....

    Just open iTunes on your pc/laptop & on the sidebar under Library choose Music. Then go up to View & choose Show Duplicate Items. From there you can either highlight & delete the duplicates or untick the songs you want to keep, then edit & delete.
