After switching to Ubuntu, I discovered iTunes had been storing duplicates of my music.

e.g.

Highway to Hell/ contains:

Highway to Hell.mp3

Highway to Hell 1.mp3

Girls Got Rhythm.mp3

Girls Got Rhythm 1.mp3 ...etc

Not all of my music is like this, only some of it.

My question is, is there a way I can create a smart playlist that:

1) Finds if an album has duplicate tracks

2) Finds if any of the duplicate track end in " 1.mp3"

3) Select only those tracks for the playlist.

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Try installing FSLint!

To install from terminal Hit Alt+Ctrl+T and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install fslint

To install from Software Center, Search for 'fslint'.

It can easily find duplicate files and then gives you an option to delete, Move etc. Give it the path to your iTunes folder, and click find.
