Duplicate music files

ITunes does a great job identifying the duplicate files. Two questions:

Are the files listed ALL duplicates and one is the original or are both duplicates?
Why oh why did apple not think to include a delete duplicates button? Amazing.

iTunes/Music will list all of the duplicates, not indicating any preference for one over another.
Probably because deduping is actually a more complex process than it might at first seem.
