My computer's been out of commission for a while, but i finally got around to uploading my library

I can't stand an unorganized library. I've been incessant about keeping things in order since i first got an iPod so many years ago. With as much music as i have...it's a must
Everything stays perfectly tagged (Artist, Album Artist, Year, Album, Track #s, etc)
Artists are grouped perfectly for searching ease. I don't ever make use of playlists...how do you guys usually group those?
High quality album art is a must...i do everything by hand (none of those programs that do it for you). i find by hand to be a lot more accurate.
i try to get 320 kbps rips for every album. i constantly scan the web for high quality replacements to albums i dont rip myself or have lesser quality audio
if any songs have any featured artists, i have to put the "featured" part in the same format "(ft. _______)"
Any time multiple artists are featured, i ahve to use the "&" symbol...not the word "and." I spent a good month scanning my entire library for inconsistencies

Already tried.  I had 17k song in my iTunes and almost 4k were duplicates.  With iTunes you can only sort for duplicates, and even after that, you must listen and select every song you would like to keep.  That's too much work.  With Dupin, I just search for dupes, tell it to keep the songs with the the best quality, and put the others in the trash.  Cant put a price on sanity.... And its $15 bucks, some of you fools spend more than that on shoe laces
