CV  I would not buy anything from this company. I paid my $8.00 by mistake thinking there was a windows version. I was told there was not. I was also told that there was no refund and then berated by these people. There are plenty of other apps that do the same thing and probably better. Don't waste your money dealing with these people.  (Version 2.3)

DONPERREAULT  I found Dupin to be much more accurate and faster duplicate scanner. Dupin can be found at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/

Along with numerous iTune scripts. Very impressive collection of scripts.  (Version 2.3)

ANONYMOUS  This si especially handy if you have an iPod with limited space - but WHY OH WHY isn't this function truly built into iTunes already?

Some say it is, but I don't think they get it. iTunes will find anything you're searching for, but doesn't intelligently or automatically find duplicates.

This is also a dupe: same song, slightly different spelling, different bitrates or even a 1 second diference in length.  (Version 1.4.1)

ANONYMOUS  Good Idea - even though iTune finds duplicates itself, there is no easy way to delete them just from one playlist or the bibl. without affecting the bought music list. Anyway - for me it not usable because of the following: I have a est. 11,000 songs in the bibl. And there are doubles e.g. same Artist, same Song, different Album. For Dupe these are doublettes. So I still have to check manually. While the bibl. keeps growing it is somewhat painful....  (Version 1.4.1)
