Avoid duplicates when copying music from another PC

two things to help, at least when you have itunes on a mac.

http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts01.php

scripts
Not in any playlist. -- it shows you which tracks aren't in any of your playlists. great for when you are compiling a bunch of tracks and forget a few.

Corral iTunes dupes -- shows which of your tracks are duplicated by creating a seperate playlist for them

he has other scripts that just make itunes on a mac easier to use.

From his scripts I cobbled together an Itunes control script that runs in terminal. I can remote control my music quickly and easily with simple terminal commands.
