Locates pairs of track entries pointing to the same file

This applet will scan your iTunes library for pairs of track entries that--very strangely--point to the same file and then copy those tracks to a discrete playlist for further examination; presumably you'll want to remove one of the faux pair tracks without Trashing the single associated file.

This is an issue that is occurring to some iTunes 11/12 users after moving media files from one place to another, perhaps incorrectly.

Scan For Double Entries is for the Mac OS. It does not run on the Windows operating system.

Action shot:
