That's the thing pictured at left. Somehow rats in a group get their tails all knotted and end up a big yucky tangled mess.
There are many problems you can experience with your iTunes music library but the main ones for me were duplications and missing songs.
Even though music only existed in one place on my computer, iTunes thought it had multiple copies of it.
Also, where music no longer existed on my computer, iTunes thought it did...lots of it.
If you've ever tried to clean up either of these problems you'll know how painful and time consuming it is with iTunes alone offering no help.
I found a great tool called Teridon's iTunes Scripts (it is the second tool listed on this page).
It is totally free and fixes a bunch of iTunes problems on many versions of iTunes up to the latest.
Teridon's scripts can take a long time to run if you have a reasonable sized library. These are a set and forget clean up process. They could take hours to run but the result is worth it. Fixing databases is time consuming - even more so if you were to try it manually.
Doug has a similar thing available for Mac's.
There's another one called Dupe Eliminator but I haven't tried it and therefore can't vouch for it. It may suit some people better than the script options though.
