I need the help of you geniuses here. When I imported one of my ITUNES Library,about 30% of the albums have duplicate tracks created withion each album folder.

Does anyone have a remedy as to how I might delete the duplicate songs. I did about 10 records one by one and I was getting a headache having to click 3 times for EVERY SONG I chose to delete.

BTW > I mentioned that the iTunes libraryof songs is OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1  

Thank you very much

If they are in different disk locations, you can search for the location you don't want, then delete them.  Try a few before you do very many.

You could also clear your library (File/Library ...) and import again.

I removed your email address from your post.  It will only attract spam.

That you for your repsonse. Let me be more detailed,as your answer cant help.
I have a 27 inch IMAC quad core. I also have a NAS box with 4 1.5 TB disks.
ALL of the folders for iTunes are on the external "media drive"
That includes >
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library.xml
com.apple.iTunes.plist
And the folders
iTunes Media>
music **** all of the music is here. Each artist has his own folder,and his vaious CDs or LPs are in each folder

When you go into Itunes preferences, I have the path correct to the actual music.
Actually, when I uploaded my music to an Amazon cloud Audio Drive, I had a duplication problem as well.


Getting back to Apple, when I spoke to them a couple of months ago about the duplicate issue, i asked then I BEGGED
them just to delete or erase my entire itunes match accoutn, THEY WOULD NOT DO IT.They siad it was against the policy.
I guess if I was just willing to throw out $25. I could forget about the current account and start all over, but I REALLY dont want to do that.

It would be amazing if JRiver actually releases an OSX Mac version so I could be free from the Apple control. They have zero interest in people
who actually LISTEN to their music. They will never allow FLAC files.and I have tried to get them to lift the 25,000 song max but they will not do it.
They also will not LINK 2 accounts together,even if I pay for the,m.
ANY suggestions please ?
thank you very, very much in advance.
