Deleting duplicates in ITunes?

What's the easiest way to delete duplicate songs in Itunes? Going through the list alphabetically (when you have 14 gigs of songs) and clearing them one by one is a little tedious. Is there an option that will allow you to bring up all duplicates at one time and allow you to delete them yourself?

Wow, I just found this option on the edit menu.

Re: Deleting duplicates in ITunes?

Another Itunes question (tried doing it myself before asking this time...). I have all my music in a folder on an external hard drive named ITunes, so I went to change the folder location to this folder in the General/Preferences tab, but the titles do not appear in the Itunes window. Is there a way to get the titles in the window without having to change the Library folder and importing into a new folder?

You can add the songs to your current library without moving them into the current library -- go into iTunes' preferences and uncheck "move songs into library when importing". But otherwise, no -- iTunes needs not just the files and folders but also an iTunes Library file, so you'll have to import them at some point if you want them to play in iTunes.
