There should be a way to do it much easier but I don't know what it is.

Having a problem with iTunes. Just spent two weeks
Consolidating all my music, CDs etc into a new hard drive.
When I put it onto iTunes, it displays numerous copy's of the same songs. How
Do I get it to display just one. I know there is only one copy
Of each song on my music hard drive as I recently spent hours
Sitting in front of the computer goin through my 38 gig of music to make sure there where no duplicates.
Thanks

I got completely fed up with iTunes and went android. The app market is just as strong and my kids were amazed how easy it was for me to put music on my phone.

I don't know if you are using a Mac or PC, but In a Mac, in music view, go to "view" and simply select "show duplicate items" you can then select and delete. It must be similar on both platforms.

The OP has a problem he is asking the forumites (is that a word?) help to resolve, I fail to see how your problems with iTunes and going android is in any way helpful to him. IMHO, as a professional user of iTunes, I have found it to be a simple and effective method to file, sort, retrieve and play the several thousand tracks I handle.

The only way I know is to "show duplicates" and then go through and delete.
Are you sure you havn't told Itunes to import all new music? it likes to do that... then it will 'rearrange' it for you too check in the settings for that

That was how I solved my problem with iTunes.And that's what I often recommend to people who have on-going problems managing their media with iTunes. I too work in IT as a profession but it's my personal opinion that Apple is not always the best solution to every IT situation.

Haha well that's one way to solve your problem, but considering the effort the OP had already put in I would have thought it would be considerably easier to remove duplicates than to buy an android phone, tablet whatever and start again.That was how I solved my problem with iTunes.
By the way I am not an IT expert, I just work with a lot of sound tracks and IMHO without a doubt iTunes is by FAR the easiest and best way to handle them. I base this on conversations with with others like myself who deal with lots of music and their methods of organization.
