Title: Finding duplicate tracks
Post by: Zoner on July 13, 2004, 01:58:32 am

Are there any plug-ins around to help find duplicate tracks?  That is, tracks that have the same (or very similar) artist and track name?  I find them all the time in my (massive) MC library.  I've spent several days over the past year or two trying to delete them all, but I keep on finding more.  Some sort of automated method of hunting them down would be greatly appreciated.

kingsparta has an md5 hash generator which will assign a long code to each mp3 track. if the code is very similar / the same the song is identical and can be deleted.

however my problem is that i often have many 'similar' mixes of the same song and usually end up deleting these by hand - a real pain!
