Eliminate duplicates from iTunes

Reorganized main Steps buttons, separating out “tools” that need not be used in any of the steps. Now shows all status messages as dialogs when “show warnings and alerts” is on and Growl is not installed. Diacritical marks and case are now ignored when identifying duplicates. Fixed bug involving scanning duplicates when ignoring album and track number.

• Reorganized main Steps buttons, separating out “tools” that need not be used in any of the steps. Now shows all status messages as dialogs when “show warnings and alerts” is on and Growl is not installed. Diacritical marks and case are now ignored when identifying duplicates. Fixed bug involving scanning duplicates when ignoring album and track number.

iDupe is designed to process duplicates and dead tracks in iTunes in a smart way. Recent versions of iTunes have a “Show Duplicates” command. But it is of limited use.

First, it offers no good way to remove duplicates while keeping one version of a track. Second, there is no good way to identify which tracks are actually duplicates as opposed to different versions of the same song, the same song with different bitrates, etc.

Features:

• Can make smart judgement calls about duplicates
• Lets you make final judgement calls before removing or deleting anything
• Can remove tracks from playlist and/or library relatively fast
• Can move files to trash and also trash empty parent folders
• Built as universal binary.
