God, I hate Itunes

No I would never own an Ipod but my wife does have one.
THousands of songs and thousands of duplicates, does anyone know of a way to weed out duplicates in Itunes that is better than the bean counting method of unchecking 5 trillion songs ??

Well in the edit menu there is a command for showing duplicates. Doesn't help you get rid of them though.

Might be hidden in same menu as creation of mass destruction weapons....

I don't have a Ipod or use Itunes but i use G2P Beta v0.2: Google helps me find the goods and search for anything a song, comedian, etc. then u should be given links to back pages of websites then find the mp3 right click save as.

Ya I can see where it says Show duplicate songs but there must be an easier way to delete them than going at it manually.

I like using Itunes for my default player and also because I have a video ipod but I see what you are getting at NoSlak. Just wanted to say thanks Nerdz for posting that!

I've always done it by Edit>Show Duplicates....and then manually delete every second song. It's an absolute PIA. I sat there doing a couple of thousand one night; but it only took me about 20 minutes. You've just got to be careful what your options are set to when you import music.
