I wasn't aware tath Rhythmbox didn't have this option until I was requested by
my sister to get rid of her duplicate songs. I did some research and it appears
that iTunes is the only music player to have this feature.

How could this be accomplished? It seems like a simple comparison of ID3 tags
and then of filesize (or MD5/SHA1) of the two files could give a moderate list
of duplicate songs. Then Rhythmbox could have a special section, similar to
'Missing Files' called 'Duplicate Files' and the user could then choose to
remove the duplicates.
