System Information is showing over 2 times the amount of audio I actually have

[Brettka7]

My iTunes is at 45.74GB of music. System Information shows that I have 100.16GB of audio on my computer. Where could I begin to track down the 55GB of audio?

Edit: Found a "From iPod" Folder in Finder with over 50 hidden folders, deleted it, now it shows the correct amount of music I have.

If you have the following boxes checked, iTunes makes a copy of all music you add to your library. If you don't delete the originals after adding them, that could account for double the audio files.

In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced:

Perhaps you somehow copied your library to another location inadvertently? Can you do a search to see if you have any duplicates?

Do you have Garage Band loops installed ? I'm guessing the rest are in your cache perhaps ? Or temp files.
