With the advent of the internet, music lovers all over the world have gained access to a wide array of songs to choose from. These mp3s are very easily accessible and can be downloaded with only a click of the mouse. Unfortunately, the tracks available on the internet have either misspelled or mislabeled song names or missing artist or album information.
While you are downloading songs, you cannot keep track of all the songs that you have already downloaded and since their names are not identical, you end up downloading the same songs again and again with different names. This results in a complete mess-up of your iTunes library and you have no idea how to re-arrange and organize a whole lot of songs which, in numbers, exceed thousands. The main drawback of having duplicate songs in your iTunes library is that they use up plenty of your disk space.
One way of doing it is to listen to each and every song and then arrange all of them in an alphabetical or album-wise order. But this is practically not viable because it will take quite a lot of time to listen to all these songs. And above all, manually doing this exercise entails the chance of human error which may result in you losing some of your favorite songs.
iTunes itself has a feature that can find and get rid of duplicate tracks but it is not very efficient. It only works if the songs posses an exact match of ID3 tags. If you are in such a dilemma, the thing that you need to use is an iTunes duplicate remover. There is lots of such software available on the net. These programs can find and delete all the duplicate copies of an mp3 in your iTunes library within seconds. One of these, the iTunes duplicate removing software is known as TidySongs.
