No. 10421
As apple tech support: Invented an efficient multi-stage process for pruning duplicate files out of an iTunes library which had duplicates created at multiple times for multiple reasons.
It was the worst mess of an iTunes music library I had ever seen, 75% of the 16k files were redundant and duplicate file remover software wasn't able to take out more than 10%. Any normal en-masse dupe removal would have have left them with less than half of their good content.
This process was guaranteed to never remove every copy of a given file. My sups had me write it up, it got added to a sort of master grognard reference package for the call center.
