in How to Remove duplicate files from your iTunes media library | Entertainment | Tech-Recipes on Tech-Recipes
Another PITA about Apple's Find Duplicates is that it does not detect when two entries point to the same file. It will happily let you move the file to the recycle bin. Then the next time you access the remaining entry, you get the "Cannot find file" dialog. Way to go Apple - comparing paths (or, on OSX inodes) is sooo hard.

davak I think everybody agrees with this. I think that's why there is such a huge collection of software out there that tries to fix the problem with dupes. I was really sad that apple did not take the time to improve iTunes with version 8 instead of just adding more and more features.

Removing duplicates safely would help a ton of people. However, the genius feature means that apple will make more money... You can see where the priorities are. :(
