my itunes library is on a removeable hard drive. I have been having a few problems recently and decided to put them onto another drive as well just in case ( I have also backed up using disks).
I used the pie chart to check how much space would be needed, expecting approx 60 gigabytes or so but found that i have duplicate files of everything, done on different dates, one set on 5th june and one on 7th june. I have started deleting the older dated ones but it is taking ages and wonder whether there is a way of deleting the older duplicate files but leaving the newer ones intact as i dont want to lose everything and have to reinstall all the music again. hope this makes sense, i dont have two libraries, but when you open the artist folder, then the cd title folder, there are two lots in there,though only the later dated ones work in itunes.
