  • nothing more to say...

First you have to define "copies"...tags are useless for serious (music) dupe-finding.  So that lets out all tag-based duplicate file apps.  In my 10-year music management with MC, for most of those years I have also used DoubleKiller to keep dupes to a minimum.  It can be tailored to comparison of a portion of the audio frames only, by crc and/or byte-by-byte, plus many other options...like file name or partial, size, date, etc.  I will be happy to share my technique for anyone who needs to dupe 100s or 1000s of tunes...

I am still waiting for a true "sounds alike" duping app, because my music genealogy needs are very basic...and I could eliminate thousands of my tunes based on a 'sounds like...' evaluation.
