Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to find and view duplicates, then delete all or most of them!
Thanks

You did not search the forum, right?
Have alook at these threads that answer directly to the keyword "dupliate".

First make sure for yourself, what you define as "duplicate".
This first step can lead you to make a plan how it can be solved using Mp3tag or not.
Here is a link to a german thread ...
