iTunes Duplicate Finder

While iTunes is an immersive database where you can come across hundreds of new media every day, it is the sheer amount of new content that can make you forget about items you already purchased or downloaded. While it may not seem like a big deal at first, in the long term, you may end up with numerous duplicates that take on space on your computer.

As the name suggests, iTunes Duplicate Finder is a straightforward utility that allows you to quickly find and manage dups from your iTunes library.

The program comes with an old-school, yet user-friendly interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. The functionality is just as intuitive and implies specifying the criteria of your query, more precisely finding similar files based on name, artist or album.

Once you selected the desired filters, you can hit the Start Search button. As you probably already hinted, the duration of the scan depends on the size of the library, as larger ones that count thousands of files could take a bit more time.

The app does not solely work with tracks, but the developer claims it should be able to find other media files such as videos, eBooks or television shows, for example.

Once you view the full list of the results, you have two options, namely to remove them from your library or clean them and delete the files from your PC. After all, some duplicates can be samples that you are experiencing with, so you may want to use them later on with your mixes.

In the eventuality that you have a rather large iTunes library and are thinking of cleaning it to make space on your PC or to avoid having the same files entering your playlist, then perhaps you can consider giving iTunes Duplicate Finder a try.
