Editor's review
Almost everyone has a music collection on his/her personal computer today. One of the most common problems with such collections is that number of files will be copies of the same musical; track often. This application can find duplicate MP3 files easily. It can also remove the duplicates easily. It will help you search and delete safely files on your PC or laptop. That covers photo files, music files and even excel sheets - the files may be in compressed archives such as RAR and ZIP. Criteria for setting the similarities are many. Similarity is applied in percentage terms and is derived based on details in file name, extension, track name and the artist name. It is able to find duplicates of tracks in the original album for example and may be in the "best" collection. You may choose to keep it also.
To get started you choose a location or a folder you want to check. On starting the checking the program will find and present results to you. Optionally you could delete them or place the duplicates in a special folder for later checking. There are several ways you may want to identify duplicates/clones. First is by contents. The search in this case would be based on the actual content of the music or the photo file. Names may be different and in different folders. Second method is by title. Music files contain this information in a tag and the program would look up this information in the tag and identify duplicates. By properties search searches by file name or size. Similar images with different resolutions or same files with different captions can be found. Files of zero size are identified for removal. Filters can narrow the search.
Overall: Quite a useful program that is easy to use.
