Aqua-Soft ForumsI'd like to ask if there is an easier way of deleting redundant songs in the song list?
[HELP] iTunes Song List
you mean like Edit>Show Duplicate Songs?
i mean deleting misplaced songs or songs that don't exist anymore... instead of right click>clear
I guess just control click all of the nonexistent songs and right click > clear them all at once. I don't think there is a way to mass get rid of them. Next time just use iTunes to delete your songs instead of from the folders and you won't have this problem.
or use iTunes Art Importer (the beta version)...I don't have a link but Google should help, anyways I'm off to bed, gnite world.
Hre is a script for this.
Thanks localhost, gonna try it out, might be really useful

So, what do we do with this file? I imagine we have to insert the piece of code some place, but how and where?
Thanks!
Well, it shows up as a ".js" file with the safari logo on a blank sheet as the icon. When I open it up, the Safari window comes up and has text that reads:

It's a javascript. You'll have to save it as an applet or some other format. Check this out:
