| Merging entries in an iTunes library |
I have quite a large iTunes library, and I've always been too lazy to move it across to something open source. However, last night I imported a bunch of CDs, and now I am the proud owner of 5,000 duplicate entries in the iTunes library. It seems like there are no tools to merge duplicate entries out there, which is important to me as I use the play and skip counts to build smart play lists of songs to sync to my iPod.
After doing a lot of surfing, toying with learning apple script (no, the language it too retarded), I ended up exporting the library to XML and writing a bad python script to fix it. I assume there is a better way to do this.
