Re: [Apple iPod] New article: iTunes and Large Libraries: Slow, Slow, Slow

From what I can tell somehow there are dups within the files, its a mess. What I'm wondering if it is possible to copy the library directly from the itunes screen and then get rid of those files with originals included. That way I would have the music but no dups.

So you have apparent dups but they aren't because if you delete them
the original goes too?

What do you see if you look at the folders within the iTunes Music
folder using Win Explorer? Are there dups there?

I had to use a program to undelete those files and lost count of how many songs had been saved so I ended up with duplicates and then uploaded the entire library of songs twice. Every time I have tried to delete copies, the originals get deleted too. I have never been able to get rid of the dups, sigh. I haven't found a program that will delete the dups for me yet so I'm not touching the music on my external. I don't have a burner on my laptop so I'm stuck with dups, lol.
