Great class David, since I do not worry about space if I get an album I usually keep them all including the duplicates. Thanks for helping out if I wish/need to change that.

having just spent a couple of hours w tier 2 Apple Media support, i learned a lot more from this. Question: are there any 3rd party utils for Windows that simplify this? If not, any consultants who will go thru this procedure for a fee for a user, remotely?

Thanks greatly! I have some work to do! My desktop music library is a bit of a mess, including 1) multiple copies of songs, 2) loads of recordings from the original iTunes where "the original file could not be found" (Martin Luther King, Dylan Thomas, and Harry Potter among them!), 3) hundreds of Garageband songs I've recorded, and 4) record albums I downloaded into iTunes. 1) Is there any way to group the songs with missing data ("original file could not be found") together so they can all be deleted quickly? 2) Is there any way to consolidate the libraries from my laptop, desktop, iPhone, and iPad together -- assuming there is room? I guess I could use some tech therapy!

Wanted to say thank you like the others but share some specificity to you and other readers. Your methodology on how to do things for Music or Photos is by far superior in my opinion. Your methodologies aren’t difficult but can be time consuming when one has many songs and photos but well worth it. I spent many hours following and feel great that my songs and photos are organized. More though is the pleasure I’ve received by finding old mixtapes that I purchased many years ago that cannot be replicated by Apple Music or Spotify. Also, found so many old photos that I’ve been able to share with others and remember fantastic memories. I highly recommend your processes.

All my songs are on my harddrive, don't use cloud. Set up new computer (PC) and new phone. Don't know what happened (probably from importing library) but every single of my 5,000 songs are duplicated in my songs list in itunes. They are exactly the same song, same folder. Is there a fix for this? Thank you

Your video's are always so informative and a great resource for me. How do I update the cloud status after removing the duplicates? I removed the duplicates but I still see a number of tracts still showing a cloud status of duplicate? I did try going to Library > Update Cloud Library but the cloud status is still showing duplicate? Thanks once again for help!

Thanks for the video. The issue wth duplicates is that some of the duplicate songs you see are songs that are in playlists. Is there a way to know which song in the duplicates that are shown are the ones in your playlists? I do not want to delete a duplicated song from list that also is in one of my p[alylsts?

right click on the song, and click "show in playlist" and it will tell you every playlist it's in.

I have duplicates on my Apple Music song list, but they link to the same file location. The only difference is that the meta information under the File tab in Apple Music shows a different "date added" and "date modified" ... I see no duplicate files from the source folder. What is going on?

I had a major issue with my mom’s MacBook Air with m1. Ever since Monterey was released in October of 2021. When Siri is activated on the log in screen it sounds like a metronome, this issue can also happen at random on the log in screen. I have called apple support they couldn’t fix the issue. Tried taking it to the apple store they said it was hardware related. Apple store shipped it to repair center. They said it wasn’t hardware related but software and could replicate the problem.

Anyone else still using an ipod touch like me.. Anyways, my issue is duplications on my ipod itself. Lets say 10 tracks on an album..but I have 20 songs on that given album..with one song solid and usable..while the other one is the same exact song but greyed out. Super annyoing. This started happening a few days ago when I updated my ipod. Im hoping to do this video above soon..Hopefully it corrects everything.

I added over 3k of songs to my iTunes library. A LOT are dups, but when I select to show exact duplicates, only a few show up! When I sort the songs by Alpha order, you can see the dups, but for some reason, they don't show when I search for duplicates.... NO clue why.. I can visually see the duplicates, but the search shows only less than 15!!!

Is there any way to just like, delete the Music app entirely? I hate it. I hate every single facet about it. It's palpable, and I'd really prefer not to feel partial loathing towards a rather expensive technological device I use everyday. iTunes, while it had its issues, was at least acceptable, and most importantly, functional. Everything about this app is terrible, with a not-so-transparent agenda of getting you to buy things on the store. Even that aside, the UI is beyond unintuitive, there's no back button on searches (!!!) making a truly cumbersome experience regarding what should be a seamless and effortless action, and it does all kinds of weird technical things. Duplications are just the tip of the iceberg. And the kicker - any third-party headphones automatically opens up the music app periodically, and there's no way to stop it without having to get a third-party script-editor. While can just hear the response( well, Apple's not responsible for its functionality regarding third-party apps and products), the fact that Apple aggressively goes out of it's way to lower your QOL unless you are truly dedicated to the cult of Mac is indicative of an abusive relationship. Sorry for the rant, an answer to delete the app is very much desired.

I hate this version of itunes (apple music)...I much prefer itunes 10.7. simple list view with art work on the left bottom corner. an arrow at the top bar which will takes you straight to the currently playing file. being able to drag and drop tracks straight form list view to playlists on left. playing a file direct from list view without the software opening up the artist name with multiple tracks from the artist. very annoying. The worst thing about the search function is when you enter a genre. it will not just move to that part of the list view. As a DJ this software is unusable.
