Good: Seems to be able to distinguish better than Similarity on mixes with and without vocals (same instruments, one instrumental version), as well as different-language versions (same singer). Gives full "100%" score to files with differing audio content (tried before and after a CUETools repair). Bad: does not distinguish out bit-identical files. Unlike Similarity, which offers a freemium model, this is trialware-nagware where you have to press OK buttons all the time. I guess others have experience to expand the list?ĪudioDedupe from Mindgems shows some promise. Too few features in the free version (cannot even identify by audio content), so I can just use Ccleaner instead - but the paid version allegedly scans for duplicate folders and audio content. Only picks a selected portion of the file and makes a hash. * Mediamonkey with some script for the purpose (where do I find its name?) (You just apply gain to the file, and it is instantly fooled.) Its quality meter has a clipping indicator which is doubtful to say the least. vocal versions get nearly full similarity score. Gives a full 100.0 % similarity score even to files which are not identical.Įven instrumental vs. Has a "quality" meter to help you choose which ones to keep, if you are too lazy for listening in the least, the "max frequency" figure can help identify upconverted transcodes.ĭoes not distinguish out bit-identical files. Seems to be no way to score similarity, nor highlight the ones that are bit-identicalĭoes fingerprinting. * PerfectTunes from Illustrate (Spoon, the creator of AccurateRip and dBpoweramp, co-developer of fb2k Mobile etc): (Since it knows tags, then why not match by MD5 sum? I can use a separate utility to verify that the files are not broken. So two FLAC files with different encoding parameters - as well as FLAC and WAV - of the same audio, are not matched. the FLAC format well enough to isolate the audio section from the tags section, but does then evidently just make a hash of the audio part of the file, not the decoded audio. This one does not do "fingerprinting", it only has ambition of checking for identical audio.įails to identify different files with precisely the same audio, because it does not decode. It works with my Windows 7, although Windows is not supported anymore - YMMV. I use this because it quite efficiently scans for audio-only parts, and appears fairly user friendly. None of them can identify redundant folders/directories, but Duplicate Cleaner promises that the paid version has such a feature. Currently I have the following five installed. Some of them I need to re-review because I do not remember why I uninstalled each.
