Is itunes intelligent enough to not import duplicates?

When I download itunes to my itouch I have many many versions of the same song, most identical. I see you can check for duplicates but it takes forever, is there an easier\better way?

Update:

Thank you for the link. I can now see exact duplicates. Have trick ticking them but there doesn't seem to be a way to delete all together, having to right click and delete each one singly..... oh dear

    iTunes is incredibly frustrating at times. Duplicate tracks, misspellings, missing information etc.

    The best way to fix these problems is by using an iTunes Organizer.

    This website has more information and a free download.

    No, it isn't. It only detects duplicates if you're trying to place a song that is in a playlist in there again. However, if you Choose File > Display Duplicates to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose File > Display Exact Duplicates. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
