What other techniques are out there to remove duplicate songs automatically? Without manually going through your playlist?

Staying Organized

There are many AppleScripts that help to remove duplicate items from the playlists.

If you have a problem with the same physical file being added to the library twice, I would suggest my Remove Duplicates (by Filename) script. (More information is available at http://applescript.plaidcow.net/)

If you find that iTunes "keep music organized" is a little too constraining, I have an Organize Files script that will organize your directory based on any ID3 tag information that you want to use. Rename Files will similarly allow you to rename files based on any ID tag information.

For deleting files from the hard drive (while removing them from the iTunes library) in one fell swoop (directly from iTunes) I have a Delete Files script.

All of these scripts have more information available on my website at http://applescript.plaidcow.net/

Let me know if they can be helpful to you.
