Shift + click to select all, delete?

Doesn't "show duplicates" show both files (or more). So if you delete all you'll lose all the songs of that name/artist not just the duplicate?

Or am I talking rubbish?

Ah, right. I forgot about that. I don't know what else to do than to manually select yourself then.

Having to click 25,000 songs is the price you pay for piracy.

I guess it's hard for iTunes to know which ones you might want deleted out of the duplicates. You might have the same track in single and album version, or maybe you ripped it twice in different formats...... you almost need a smart playlist type thing for duplicates so you could say show me the dulpicate that isn't AAC or something.

Have him check out Doug's Scripts, there are a couple for handling duplicate files. At least iTunes seems to have finally fixed the bug where adding a file more than once made it show up multiple times in the iTunes library.
