saved me so much time - worked as quickly as i would have expected

I have what I think is a pretty large iTunes Library… 50k songs (350 Gig). It used to be much bigger. Upon merging libraries from 2 computers onto my new mac mini server. I noticed that somehow i messed up and had a period of time that overlapped causing an incredible amount of duplicates. I also have a tremendous Phish library so seeing 50 versions of "Down With Disease" is pretty common. Long story short, I wanted a tool that would work within iTunes (to avoid "lost files") and something that could de-dupe with precision. I ran this program before buying it, and based on the selectable criteria… I was able to find over 5000 "sets" of duplication that met Artist, Track Name, Album, Track # and Track Length requirements. It took about a half hour to find them and an hour to clean. It even allows you to back up. I estimate it deleted over 10k duplicate tracks, and so far I am very happy with the results. I felt like this utility was a little over priced, but I woulda easily paid someone 19.99 to sit there and do it for me, this was much faster and less error prone. If you have a quick machine, it shouldnt take long. I am recommending this program to my friend (who has the same issue) tomorrow.

thanks guys!
