IPad – Duplicate Tracks in “Music” App

ipad

I used ITunes to download to my new IPad3 a variety of songs and albums I had already purchased. However, in some cases, I have two copies of every song. When I play an album with the "Music" app, I can see two copies of each song – and yes it plays both copies as it moves forward.

I've seen instructions online of how to get rid of ITunes duplicates on a PC. But I'm dealing with my IPad3, not a PC.

Best Answer

You should have duplicate tracks on iTunes as well. If not, then try this out

  • Plug in you iPad and open iTunes.
  • On the "File" Menu Click on "Transfer Purchases from Brent's iPad" (I Assumed the name of your iPad but you get the point).
  • Wait for sometime for all of your purchased tracks to transfer into you computer (PC right?).
  • After that you can try out the steps mentioned in the link you posted. This will erase all the duplicates from your iTunes Library.
  • After all is done, Sync you iPad and your duplicates should have been erased.



Hope it works!
