How to remove duplicate entries in Rhythmbox Music List

Asked by penguintutor

Is there a simple way to remove duplicate entries in Rhythmbox Music list. I believe these have been created because the folder has been imported twice rather than due to duplicate files on the disc.

Thanks

Actually strike that - I've found the problem. I have a symlink to the directory with my music files in and I've ended up with one entry for the file and one for the same file through the symlink.
