Playlists
Right click
Choose Add Smartlist
In the box that will come up, click the dropdown on the Smartlist Rule box.
Scroll down until you see Audio -- Task -- Possible Duplicates
Click OK

Be careful! It this is based on the name of the track. Make certain you REALLY are deleting a duplicate. You can see the time, path, etc to help. And of course you can listen first.

Hope this helps.

Listening to: 'I Saw the Light' from 'Sounds of the Seventies 1972' by 'Todd Rundgren' on Media Center 11


It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
So we walked along,
though I knew there was something wrong
And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes

Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
'Til that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run,
though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said
But my feelings for you
were just something I never knew
'Til I saw the light in your eyes

But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha)
'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes
