Hi Stacey, Courtney, Sarah, and Others, The AppleScripts for iTunes web site Sarah mentioned has actually been mentioned several times before on list, and also instructions about using the "SuperRemove Dead Tracks" AppleScript.
You can read through the description of how to use this in the Mail Archive stored posts for this list at: • iTunes AppleScript "Super Remove Dead Tracks" [was Re: Cleaning up itunes library] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02563.html The Mail Archive uses access key navigation, so if you're reading the page in Safari, you can press Control-N to navigate to the next post in the thread, and press Control-P to navigate to the previous post in the thread. With other browsers, such as Internet Explorer on Windows, you change the access key prefix to "Alt", which is the prefix appropriate to that browser, so you press Alt-N and Alt-P to navigate to the next or previous posts. That post (and its successor down the thread) gives step-by-step instructions with probably too much detail, so I'll just quickly summarize that AppleScripts are programs that allow you to add menu capabilities to applications. You download them into a "Scripts" folder under either the Library folder for your account, or the main system Library folder, and then an extra menu for your Scripts functions shows up on your menu bar. The first time you add an AppleScript you will need to create the Scripts folder. Doug Adams' AppleScripts for iTunes web site is one of the best sources for useful AppleScripts, tailored to iTunes. He gives full instructions about how to create a Scripts folder in the downloaded information. A few of his more customized applications, such as Dupin, appear as apps in the Mac App store. There are hundreds of others at the AppleScripts for iTunes site, which are donationware (meaning free to download, but if you find it useful you're encouraged to make a donation at a later time). So there are also AppleScripts such as "Corral all dupes" that are on his site that don't have as many bells and whistles as Dupin, but which may do what you want. I think there were also discussions about those AppleScripts on this list, but they predate mirrored archiving on the Mail Archive site, with its the easy search. A link to the Mail Archive site for this list is in the listed links at the bottom of each email post from this list. HTH.
