## What is DupeSnoop?

Tired of seeing multiple versions of the same song cluttering your Apple Music library? DupeSnoop helps you identify and manage duplicate tracks, special editions, remasters, and variations - making it easy to keep only the versions you want.

Key Features:

* Smart Duplicate Detection: No AI.
* Visualize Duplicate Groups: View all versions of a song grouped to easily compare and choose your preferred version
* Queue-Based Workflow: Select unwanted songs and add them to a removal queue for batch processing from within Apple Music
* Favorite Integration: Favorite your preferred versions right from the app
* Advanced Filtering: Filter your library by duplicates, favorites, explicit/clean, special editions, etc.
* Hide False Positives: Hide duplicate groups you want to keep, which automatically reappear if new versions are added
* View which playlists are common amongst the duplicate songs and merge them before processing.
* Catalog Search: Search Apple Music's catalog to find alternate versions and compare release dates
* Detailed Song Information: View comprehensive metadata including release dates, track numbers, play counts, and more
* Sorting Options: Sort your library by title, artist, or album in ascending or descending order


Free vs "Deluxe Special Edition"

* Free version is 100% functional to find and remove duplicate songs in your Apple Music library
* Deluxe Special Edition unlocks hidden groups, additional filter types, custom icons, and more themes.


Important Notes:

* Apple Music Subscription Required: An active Apple Music subscription is necessary to use DupeSnoop's features
* Manual Deletion Required: Due to restrictions imposed by Apple on third-party developers, DupeSnoop cannot delete songs directly from your library. Instead, songs queued for removal are added to a special playlist called "Dupe Snoop Playlist" which you can open in Apple Music to manually delete the songs
* Library Access Required: DupeSnoop requires permission to access your Apple Music library to function
* Local Library Only: The app works with songs in your local library and does not modify your iCloud Music Library directly


Take control of your music collection and say goodbye to duplicates with DupeSnoop!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.02.28 — 2026-03-03

- Added an alert when you reach the 50-track maximum in the queue.
- Added new track tags to the song row view: Remix, Demo, Musical.
- Changed the release year tag to always display.
- Made all metadata tags from Apple white on dark grey to differentiate them from programmatically created tags.
-  Updated the display of the Favorite, Search, and Queue buttons in the Song Detail view.
- Reworked the Onboarding tutorial to avoid confusion.

### 2026.02.16 — 2026-02-17

- Added "Reprise" tag to songs that contain a reprise version.
- Added a new top menu bar to the Library view and a new option to the Catalog Search view for expanding full song/track information, making it easier to identify unwanted versions.
- Added "Date" tag to expanded song listings. Note that this uses Apple's metadata for album release dates, which is unreliable for re-releases and anniversary editions. I'm working on a solution to display proper release dates and identify original versions of songs.
- Added "Exact" tag to song listings that match other songs identically in both Library and Catalog Search views. When a song has multiple versions with exact matches, the tags display in different colors to distinguish between them.
- Dramatically improved performance when scrolling through the Library tab.
- Groups with tracks already in the DupeSnoop playlist are hidden by default. You can show them using the option in the Library tab's top menu.
- Implemented ISRC tracking to detect literal duplicates of songs included across multiple releases in what appears to be an attempt to get you to re-save them. (I'm looking at you, "ABCDEFU" with your 10+ identical versions across multiple "My Setlist from That Show Where I Opened for Someone" album releases. Great song, but seriously?)

### 2026.01.24 — 2026-01-25

Version 2026.01.24:

Changes
* Added tags under songs in library to make it easier to see if Deluxe, Soundtrack, Compilation, etc..
* Added iCloud storage for Hidden Group storage, to avoid losing your hidden group data.

Bug Fixes
* Fixed bug where the 0.99 subscription for 1 month wasn't showing.
* Fixed bug where Full Title wasn't showing when long pressing a song in the library.

Bug fixes and slight UI tweaks
