I have lots of duplicate music files on my Mac and in iTunes. When I synced them to my Samsung Galaxy S it has added all of them. I'm also finding that my tracks aren't tagged properly.

What app can I use to remove my duplicate files and to fix my music tags?

I suggest trying Dupin: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/dupin.phpThis should make it a lot easier to track down and delete duplicate music files in iTunes.
