? great software for detecting mp3 duplicated is here http://abeetech.com/mp3-duplicates-finder/ Description: QUOTE The purpose of this program is to find all mp3 duplicates on your computer and remove useless files from your hard drive. As this program performs just this single task it copes with it much better than other more universal programs.
Unlike the other programs for duplicate files search, our program works only with mp3 files. This allows using specific methods for duplicates detection. While most of duplicates finders use such criteria as file size and file name, our program uses the artist name and title of the composition from ID3 tag for comparison. If the mp3 file doesn't have filled tags, the program tries to determine such information from mp3 file name. This program can find either mp3 files with completely equal tags or with similar but not exactly equal tags. You can have a lot remixes and variations of any song or any song can be performed by various artists. This program will help you detect all these mp3 files and decide what you want to do with them - leave, delete or move to another place. From version 1.1 Abee Mp3 Duplicates Finder can work with WMA and Ogg Vorbis files. Now you can find duplicates among all 3 popular audio formats !

Thanks dspencer. I hate it when I find duplicates and have to go back and check if it IS a duplicate or not. Well, it's time to empty out 1gb of duplicates...

I was interested in such program 2 years ago. And now I use Dupe Checker PRO. I think that it isn't efficient to buy a prog which performs only one of many functions it could perform. There are many programs which successfully search duplicates with any extensions. All benefits of Abee program relate to other progs too. Thus you can buy much more useful program at the same price....
IMHO!!! |

I tried about five different programs before this and Abee Mp3 Duplicates Finder found many duplicates after this programs ! And it costs less than all-in-one programs and if you want just to find and remove mp3 duplicates you need not all-in-one program. Note that Abee Mp3 Duplicates Finder supports Ogg Vorbis files and wma files. Do you know many programs which supports this formats too ? |

Thus you can buy much more useful program at the same price.... Most of programs for duplicates search compares only filenames or comapares byte-by-byte. For mp3 files it is wrong. Two files packed with different bitrate will are different for byte-by-byte comparison. Names of mp3 files are usually not very informative and often very different for the same files. But ID3 tags are usually correct. Therefore Abee Mp3 duplicates finder can find more duplicates than other universal programs(as Dupe Checks for examle). |

ID3 Tags are special meta information that contains information about artist, title, album, etc. Mp3 files not always contains ID3 Tags. Anyone can add or change ID3 tags(in WinAmp press Alt-3 to do this). But if WinAmp(or other player) shows the artist and title for mp3 file(not something like track01.mp3) then thi file has filled ID3 Tags. I just want to add that the Abee Mp3 Duplicates Finder can extract artist name and title from filename, if ID3 tags are empty. |
