Duplicate FLAC/MP3 Files: A Solution?
« on: November 22, 2009, 06:25:28 pm »

I've been messing around with ways to find duplicate albums of FLAC and MP3 files during me reripping process, and I've found one that works with nearly 100% accuracy.


You need to create the custom library field "No Extension":
Code: [Select]
If(IsEqual([File Type],FLAC, 1),RemoveRight([filename (name)],5),RemoveRight([filename (name)],4)
And then add a smartlist with these settings:
Code: [Select]
[Media Type]=[Audio] ~dup=[No Extension],[Album] ~a ~sort=[File Type]
Then just select all of the mp3 files and delete.

Hope that helps some people!
