Over the years, I have sometimes collected different versions of the same album: mp3 and flac; ape and flac; flac 16 bits and flac 24 bits.
I'd like to identfy these albums (or the corresponding files).
How can I do it?

Finding duplicates can be an interesting challenge.  If they have the same song names and artist name, you can make a View or a smartlist that filters by Artist, Name .  You can use a modifier of "Only duplicates of", then choose Artist and Name.

I've built a view with some presets for this kind of thing, but I didn't get much interest in it.  I think most people must hack together their own or something.

Thanks!
Experimenting, these settings seem to work for me:
Only duplicates of: Album; Album Artist; Artist; Name
View: Artist > Album > Name
(Of course, there are some false alerts. So each case must checked by hand.)
