HELP: iTunes Duplicate Songs

Post by **DMB2000uk** » Fri Oct 20, 2006 7:14 pm

So in transferring my mp3 collection from 2 different computers to my new machine (each with variations on what music was in them) I now have 2400 songs duplicated(!).

Is there any quick automated way to delete these duplicates?

I have SUSE linux sat here on my desk that I havent gotten round to installing (cant face downtime for the folding comp even though I'm never going to catch cadaveca now

) so when I install that will it be able to 'see' stuff on the NTFS partition that windows is on? I'm asking that incase there is a Linux prog that will do it quick.

sorry, i didn't see this post.......

SuSe will be able to "see" the NTFS partition just fine.......but if you do a custom install and partitioning, you will only be able to access the files when logged into SuSe as "root". you will need to edit how the partition is mounted.

But yeah it will work fine......just be carefull if your manually setting partitions when installing, don't delete the wrong one!
By default SuSe will leave windoze alone and make it a boot option when installed. If using the same drive as windoze it will ask to resize the ntfs partition.

It's a GNU world ;)

Cheers for the nix advice, I have a 10gig partition that I did before i even put windows on so im not gonna loose anything.

So i guess there is no easy way of deleting the duplicates then?
