You will not be able to select or deselect the remove checkbox for tracks that are missing. Tune Sweeper will always remove these tracks from your iTunes library. If a group contains a missing track, that track will be highlighted with an exclamation mark as shown below.Ī missing track is one that is listed in iTunes but whose associated music file is no longer available on the computer hard drive. When this box is checked Tune Sweeper will not remove any tracks from iTunes that belong in that group. In this case you can check the 'Ignore this group' checkbox in that group. You may decide that you do not want to delete any tracks from a particular group.

The track will stop playing if you change the track selection in the duplicate list, if you click the 'Preview' button again or if the track finishes playing. Simply select the track you want to hear in the duplicates list by clicking on it and then click the 'Preview' button.Īlternatively, double click on the track in the duplicates list to start the preview. To help with your selection, you can play back music in Tune Sweeper. Note: If you change the Selection Preference while the result of a group search is being displayed, all groups are changed, even those that do not form part of the search. Alternatively, you may wish to keep the highest quality tracks, songs with the longest duration, last or oldest added to iTunes or last date played.įor example, selecting 'Highest Quality' in the Keep Selection Preference box will instruct Tune Sweeper to automatically select all the tracks in each group for removal, except for the track with the highest bitrate. This feature enables you to speed up the duplicate removal process by for example choosing to keep purchased songs only where these are available, or songs with a particular file format (MP3 or M4A).

By selecting your preference here, Tune Sweeper can automatically select duplicate songs to remove from your library. Using the 'Keep Selection Preference' box on the left hand side of the Tune Sweeper window you can select which tracks to keep.
