![]() ![]() There's a MILLION stupid little shareware apps that purport to fix duplicates and remove dead tracks. This solution wasn't cool for me so I say, nay nay. It'll add just files that exist, but you will lose any edits, artwork, etc, you may have added. Now, as a napalm-style solution, you CAN delete your iTunes library completely and re-add it. However, this then left me with a big iTunes database that THINKS it has music, even though the file on disk is long gone. I searched for *1.mp3 and *2.mp3, etc, and deleted the dupes on disk. It was taking up many gigs of duplicate space. I ended up with "LL Cool J - I Need Love 1.mp3" and "LL Cool J - I Need Love 2.mp3" along side the original. But enough about Satan, let's yank some dead tracks, shall we?Īt some point, I ended up with hundreds of dead tracks and/or duplicates. I could manage all my music with Zune (and I do have a Zune Pass for leasing music I don't want to buy) but there are iDevices in the house and iTunes is what it takes.ĭid I mention it sucks? It's slow, frustrating, and is effectively just a giant listbox that exists only to mess up my music library and occasionally try to sneak Safari and QuickTime onto my machines. ![]() ![]() I'm sure it's all unicorns and spun sugar on MAC, but as a guy using Windows with dozens of gigabytes of music on a shared file server that I've ripped since the first CD I ever purchased, it's hell on earth. It is a pox on my existence and it has cost me hours of pain and suffering. I hate iTunes on Windows with the heat of a thousand suns. ![]()
