thanks Peter. I missed that one, to think I was about to post this over in that thread end I even replied to Alia. Not reading! Oh well, I think it deserves its own thread anyway.

Yeah I agree this deserves its own thread. One would easily miss the other since it is about iTunes Dupe Barrier.

Yep, it's a good feature and may be able to give you back some disk space. Found out I have a lot of duplicate songs, but I don't know if I should delete them because the songs are part of this compilation and that, or some other album. A better feature would be to have iTunes, when it finds the same exact duplicate song, offer the option to just "point" or refer to that particular song that it finds in another album. So we'll just have one song file even though it may be in a number of different albums.

Di ba?
