I have a folder with thousands of FLAC audio files and i know for sure there are many songs are duplicates. They are mostly re-releases with different names, different ID3 tags, slightly different size and etc. The problem is that many "audio duplicate finder" software only check that to find duplicates: ID3 tags, file names and size, so they don't work in this case.I am looking for a software that can ANALYZE audio files (mp3/wav/FLAC,etc) and find duplicates.Any anon has experience with these kind of software?
Use your ears? I mean damn, or just go through them all and keep ONE of each song?Consider whether you have "hoarder" tendencies
>>1505585>have a folder with thousands of FLAC audio filesStop naming your audio songs as 23.flac 23526.flac 7926.flacYou know it is a duplicate song or not when the filename is:[abba] Dancing Queen (Eurovision 1992).flac[abba] Dancing Queen (Bern live 2001).flac[Olivia Newton John] Have You Never Been Mellow.flac[Olivia Newton John] Have You Never Been Callow {Weird Al Yankovic version}.flac
>>1505591>>1505705Op asked a fairly reasonable question and just got stupid answers. If you're downloading all your music there will be slight variations in naming/tagging and it's a bitch to autisticly rename every thing that comes inIf audio duplicate scanning software exists I'd be interested in it myself. I personally sort my fucking mp3s by genre. Sometimes I notice I have the same track sitting in multiple folders, which is fine, maybe, but I'd like to know
>>1505723You want a program that can magically go through songs and rip out the instrumental pieces perfectly without audio while you're at it?

>>1505591>>1505705>>1505726Has /wsr/ been flooded by redditors trying to be smart.These "ACKTUALLY you should have done XYZ *tips fedora*" answers offer nothing.Like this >>1505723 anon said, music comes with different naming conventions. This is specially true when you download entire discographies.That's exactly the case here.I downloaded an entire group of composers discography that has over 8000 songs. Some are arrangements.Some are "best hit compilations".Some are "people's favorite's" remaster re-releases.All with different names/ID3 tagging.
