It did work when I first got it a couple of years ago. I know a lot has changed, with the move to Apple Music and all. I’m an iTunes Match user, and now have duplicates galore in my Library. Trying to open it it just reports “an error has occurred.” It’s not a helpful error.
The first thing it asks is permission to access all files in home folder, which doesn't make sense to me and I could not give access to that. I would appreciate if they allow to select custom folder to access and do it's job there. I had to uninstall this app since I could not use it. I gave 3 star becase I do not want to reduct the rating for the app for no reason.
Still using High Sierra. Got error message that iTunes was updating and the app wouldn’t open. Used this tool and library tools and removed junk. iTunes is working. Yes, I know, old mac, old software, new problems. But hey, I love my mac!
The app is not useful for music duplicate elimination.
I love this app, but the only problem is that recently, it stopped working all together. please fix it!
My entire libraray had duplicates (more than 3,000 dupe songs). The app identified approx 300. Not happy with this app. I paid the $4.99 to have unlimited dupes and it still didn't work.
Ok is very useful.
I know it's a knock off of Itunes want to erase it but wont let me erase it.
how can i recover my ipad this is the worst ever app !
It removes all duplicate tracks with one click which is great because on iTunes you need to select each one. A note of caution- make sure you check mark things like same: time and bitrate otherwise tracks with the same name which are totally different will be considered duplicates. Also make sure you leave the track with the best bitrate for you unchecked.One flaw that really needs to be corrected is that there is no way to tell the program which file to keep by default. For example, if you want the duplicate with the lower bitrate to be chosen by default you should be able to do that. Also things like, 'Do not remove if the song is part of a playlist' etc. Esentially there should be options.
I work with music files everyday and for years had neglected to weed out duplicates from iTunes. In my version of iTunes there is no option for Find Duplicates as in older versions. So I decided to try TunesMechanic and am I ever happy I did. It removed thousands of duplicates right out of the box freeing up space on my hard drive and lightening the load on my MacBook Pro. I must admit I was a little scared at first as the tiny ball kept spinning and the computer heated up. iTunes was drawing 97% of the CPU’s. I decided to shut down the computer for awhile so I quit TunesMechanic and shut down. I thought I might be in for trouble for doing that, but when I started back up later and opened TunesMechanic it started off right where it left off and finished the job. It’s a great program and very easy to use. Very happy to have it, and, at 5 bucks, you can’t help but give it a try. The negative ratings here should be taken with a grain of salt! Computer problems usually come with layers of other reasons for their occurrence.
I had a little over 3300 duplications in iTunes. This program found them immediately, and cleared them automatically. I had to run it twice to get them all, but that’s a small price to pay for saving hours of manually finding and deleting them. It also fixed the dead links, which were driving me nuts. Does exactly what it says with no fuss.
