Another problem I ended up with when I moved my iTunes mp3 collection between PCs was a lot of duplicate files.  To fix the problem I discovered this great little app that can find and delete dupes automatically.

Dupe Eliminator from Markelsoft isn’t free, but it does have a 30 day free trial which should be long enough to clean your iTunes library.  It has some cool features including:

  • List all files in iTunes Music Library
  • Can show only duplicate podcasts (based on your criteria selection)
  • Can show only dupes (based on your criteria selection)
  • Can show only dead links (library links to files that no longer exist)
  • Remove actual file option (remove actual file in addition to music library entry)
  • Sync iPod with iTunes Music Library.  Useful after removing duplicates

    I found this utility didn't find all the dupes that iTunes did and was somewhat unreliable. Besides these things, anytime you do seemingly anything dupe eliminator wants to rescan your library. I have a 19k+ song library. Slow, slow, slow...
