“Duplicates manager for iTunes”

by Cyril Roger

Wanna get rid of all those annoying duplicate files you have in iTunes? Dupin is a good tool to use. Thanks to its iTunes like interface, you can easily view your songs and playlists. Search and filter songs based on numerous criteria like artist, album or size. Luckily Dupin doesn't limit itself to songs but can also search through other iTunes files like podcasts, audiobooks or movies. The program can help you locate files in Finder and in iTunes and even find duplicates in libraries from other users.

In terms of performance, Dupin can feel a bit slow at times, and we found that it could slow down iTunes if it was opened up at the same time. When searching for duplicates in smart playlists Dupin is also not as effective as in normal libraries. Finally some users might be annoyed at having to examine every track to make sure that all duplicates have been eliminated.

Overall though Dupin is a handy tool to quickly find any duplicates in your iTunes libraries.

From the publisher of Dupin

iTunes' "Show Duplicates" feature is helpful but you still have to examine every track to determine whether you want to keep or delete the tracks it finds. Smart Playlists are of dubious help and trying to locate all duplicates with them can be tedious as they can quickly crowd your Source list and slow iTunes down.

With Dupin you can:

  • Quickly find all sets of duplicate iTunes tracks based on your choice of criteria
  • Select the "Keeper" tracks from among a number of duplicates automatically using a variety of versatile filtering options
  • Purge duplicate tracks from iTunes and send files to the Trash
  • Manage intentionally duplicated tracks
  • Copy tracks to new iTunes playlists
  • View duplicates in non-loaded libraries created with iTunes' multiple library feature or iTunes Library Manager
  • View duplicates in iTunes libraries on other machines on your local network
  • Sort tracks and view track info
  • Export a list of duplicates to a text file
  • Locate tracks in the Finder and in iTunes
  • Audition tracks

In addition, Dupin features:

  • Familiar iTunes-like interface
  • Robust Help
  • Ample keyboard shortcuts
  • Visual progress feedback during operations
  • Customizable toolbars
  • Optional update checking
