Short answer: No.
Mp3tag is a tagging software. It is not designed to detect and remove duplicate audio files.
There are various specialised third party software options available.

I think you should ask this question in a iTunes forum.

A result from the forum search:

Please include a tool / function for removing / deleting dupulicate songs (files)

Please include a tool / function for removing / deleting duplicate songs (files). I understand this product is a tag editor but it would be great to a have great duplicate song removal tool! Most are are are very good and are difficult to set-up so it works. Thx, William

iTunes, BTW, does not really detect duplicates, it only shows files with the same tag data.
And that could be due to unexact tagging where the important version indicator has been left out.
So you would be stuck with indiviudally comparing the files.

In iTunes
File>Library>Show Duplicate Items

-It will show a list of all songs with the same name, or click the header filter for "Same Album" to show true duplicates.
