Duplicate songs in my Music app on MacBook Pro

I noticed a few weeks ago that the songs in my Music App were showing up 2 times each. Now they are all in there 3 times each! I tried to research it and read topics on the Apple Communities, but I did't have any success. Do I need to go through and remove every single duplicate?!🤪😅 My MacBook Pro is updated to the latest operating system.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.2

Hi pleasantphotography,

Check out the steps below to see how find duplicate items, which you can then delete:

"In the Music app  on your Mac, click Songs in the sidebar on the left.Select an item, then do one of the following:Find every instance of that item in your library: Choose File > Library > Show Duplicate Items.Find exact duplicates: Hold down the Option key, then choose File > Library > Show Exact Duplicate Items.

After you find duplicate items, you can delete them if you want to declutter your library.

To see all items again, click Done in the bottom-right corner or choose File > Library > Show All Items."

Those steps are from this article: Find duplicate items in Music on Mac - Apple Support

Take care!
