It was now time to put it in a place where I could easily access it from any computer. My media library was finally in decent shape. I probably didn’t need to as I had copies on my Macs, but should I miss something that was inadvertently deleted I reckoned it would be easier to locate it in this folder, which I could later archive or throw out.

When I finished, I purged the duplicates in order to get them out of my iTunes library, but then retrieved them from the Trash and placed them in a Duplicates folder that I created. I then chose to filter by Highest Bit Rate as well as always keep Apple Lossless files. I conducted a couple of searches using a variety of factors and eventually settled on searching by Name, Artist, Album, and Time. Or, you can allow Dupin to do its job and then purge your duplicate tracks. Within this Dupin Filter Controls window you can choose to automatically delete any tracks that don’t match the filter.

You can also choose to always keep a particular kind of file-Apple Lossless or AAC files, for instance. Once you have that list, click a Filter button and then choose the factor you’ll use to identify the “keepers.” This can be Oldest Date Added, Highest Bit Rate, Largest File Size, and so on.
