Find duplicate items in Music on Mac

You can find every instance of a song by the same artist anywhere in your music library. For example, the same song could appear on the artist’s album and on a movie soundtrack.

You can also search for exact duplicates, in which a song, artist, album, and version are all the same (if, for example, you inadvertently imported a song twice).

Open Music for me

  1. In the Music app on your Mac, click Songs in the sidebar on the left.

  2. Select an item, then do one of the following:

    • Find every instance of that item in your library: Choose File > Library > Show Duplicate Items.

    • Find exact duplicates: Hold down the Option key, then choose File > Library > Show Exact Duplicate Items.

After you find duplicate items, you can delete them if you want to declutter your library.

To see all items again, click Done in the bottom-right corner or choose File > Library > Show All Items.
