iTunes Duplicate Files – How to Remove Duplicates from Mac OSX

Posted: July 26th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: iTunes duplicate files | No Comments »

iTunes is one of the biggest duplicate files creators on a Mac OSX. Why is this? Because we store all of our music, TV shows, movies, and applications that we transfer to our iPods, iPhones and iPads. When we transfer files back and forth and download new files from various sources, we end up clogging our hard drive and filling up iTunes. The result? A slower Mac OSX computer that needs to be cleaned up and sped up.

The process of getting rid of these duplicate files can be painstakingly slow and tedious if you try to do so manually. There are other options, but only one solution stands out. If you’re in a hurry, check out Tidy Up and see what I’m talking about.
iTunes gets filled with duplicate songs and takes forever to load or respond. Is there anything more annoying than staring at the spinning rainbow-colored beachball? This is often directly associated with duplicate songs in your iTunes folder that are hogging your hard disk space.
You can use the ‘Show Duplicates in iTunes’ function, however the process is not that simple. You are going to need to check each song, make sure you are not deleting the higher quality version, and you will miss songs that are named the wrong way. However, you will be able to delete the songs you’ve selected after running this function.
If you use software that is created for this purpose, then you’ll be able to compare bitrate, author, date, and you’ll be able to quickly compare two tracks and select the better version, whether the song is named correctly or not. If your time is worth something to you, then you might as well spend small fee to have your entire mac osx laptop quickly cleaned up.

That’s why Tidy Up (free trial) is my choice when it comes to fixing itunes duplicate files.
