Deleting duplicate songs in i-tunes?

[placeholder]

Hi guys, looking for a bit of help with i-tunes.

I have about 60gb of music stored in i-tunes but due to not paying proper attention to what im doing i have some songs listed mulitple times, in some cases the songs dont actually exist more than once as the original source was my external Hard Disk which i have removed. Is there a quick way to remove the duplicates without having to sift through the entire library? I've selected "duplicates" from the drop down menu which is fine but i would still have to go through them all checking which is the actual song and which dont exist. I hope that makes sense! Obviously if i have to do it the long way then so be it but i just wondered if there was a quick way of doing it?

Do what I said. It tells you which files are non-existent. iTunes will not update the metadata of non-existent files. It will happily update the metadat of existing files. This removes all non-existent files in one process.

Hello - can anyone hear me?

Sorry its taken me so long to reply.

Yes that worked a treat, thanks for the tip! I was able to group all the non existing track and get rid of them. Its still left me with some that were actually on twice but thats a very small list by comparison. Thanks again!
