On my Mac OS X 10.6.7 iTunes (which is not part of my question) duplicated every single file in my music library. Now I have 3.840 files instead of 1.920. The problem is that iTunes didn't simply duplicated the whole folder but each file in each folder adding a 1 to the duplicate. It looks like this:

├── album1
│   ├── track1.mp3
│   ├── track1 1.mp3
│   ├── track2.mp3
│   └── track2 1.mp3
└── album2
    ├── track1.m4a
    └── track1 1.m4a

Now rather than klicking on 1.920 duplicates I want to enter some smart line in the Terminal to get rid of the extra files:

find path/to/music/ -name "* 1.*" -delete

Though this will work in most cases I will mess up things in the following situation:

└── album2
    ├── track 1.mp3
    └── track 1 1.mp3

Maybe I should exclude "* 1 1.*" and later on rename those files removing the extra 1?

How do I do this? Is there a simple solution to this? Will any more advanced regex help me out?
