The love for all things iPod just grows and grows and with the latest iterations of the reassuringly expensive mp3 player just out, but many people still don't know much of their way around this famed device from Apple. So here at Absolute Gadget have put together our top ten tips and tricks for getting the most out of your Steve Jobs-approved media player.

Tip no. 1 - Duplicate Tracks

The great thing about most iPods is that there is so much storage you can rip everything and it won't matter so much if you happen to have 15 versions of the same songs. However, some of us only have a shuffle and the same song 15 times isn't going to keep you occupied for very long on those boring trips to work. So how do we get rid of them?

Manually doing this through the iTunes library can take a long time (especially if you have a large library) so lucky for us iTunes can take the stress out of this.

To find duplicate tracks, choose View and then Show Duplicates. iTunes will then show all tracks that have the same name. Of course, tracks like "The Power of Love" from 1985 could be three different songs form three different artists. (and for the record those artists are Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Huey Lewis and the News and Jennifer Rush) so best to listen through these to these first before hitting the delete button.
