Hi and thanks for your response. I have tried Similarity....it installed without a problem...the problems began when I tried to open the program...(it wouldn't start). I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it about 5 or 6 times with the same unhappy result. I then took your advice and installed ITunes. I do believe that I was able to delete almost all of the duplicates that way. thanks again for your suggestions!! dennis --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/duplicates/12984)._
