iPod Duplicate files in finder?

[jabingla2810]

When I go to my itunes library in finder, some albums have two of each song.

One of each has artwork attatched, while the other doesnt.

I cant remember if these are the albums that ive manually added the artwork to..... maybe thats whats caused the duplicate?

Anyhow, can I delete on of them without my itunes library?

Just that, obviously, some albums are taking up twice as much space as they should be.

Anybody else find this? 😱

Yes. I've had many songs with 1 or more extra copies sitting in the same folder.

I just noticed this the other day while importing some cds. One or Two of the Cds was already in my iTunes as mp3 but I wanted lossless so when I imported the cd Itunes asked if I wanted to replace the existing which I did. Sure enough in finder there is 2 copys of each song... I have no clue what the deal is...😕
