Is there a way to delete any doubles in my library? Besides going through one by one?

    To find duplicates:

    Select an item below Library or Playlists, and then choose View > Show Duplicates

    What I did was delete the entire library (do there is a prompt to delete the files themselves - say NO!!!!) and then re-import from MyMusic or whatever file you have your files in.

    Highlight the top file, hold shift down, highlight the bottom file, hit delete. Then just re-import from MyMusic or whatever. Takes minutes.

    "Show Duplicates" (as the gentleman/lady above me suggested) did not help me. I mean, it shows the duplicates, but you have to delete them one by one. The above is far quicker.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    Yeah you're right. I got that from iTunes help. Your way is probably the best route.
