Audio Dedupe - Features


Audio Dedupe is not an ordinary duplicate mp3 finder. As it performs a true audio analysis it can find duplicate mp3 files evan if they are not marked with ID3 tags. This is also the reason why the tool can compare MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, WAV, OGG, AIFF, AAC, MP4, FLAC, AC3, WavPack (WV), Musepack (MPC) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) file formats. Most of the duplicate finder applications on the market claim to find duplicate mp3 files while actually they only compare the file size or content. In best case most of the tools just look at the ID3 tags and compare titles which provides very poor results. Audio Dedupe performing a true audio scan can find even remix of the same song. You can easily control the similarity level in order to find exact duplicates or include variations of a song.

 


Audio Dedupe is a powerful utility for finding similar or exact duplicate audio files in a folder and its subfolders. It has the following features:

  • Find all similar or exact duplicate audio files in user specified folders using audio compare of the file contents
  • Find exact duplicate audio files using fast hash checksum algorithm
  • User can adjust the percent of audio similarity
  • Lower bitrate audio files can be automatically marked for deletion
  • Shorter duration audio files can be automatically marked for deletion
  • Smaller file size audio files can be automatically marked for deletion
  • Older audio files can be automatically marked for deletion
  • Integrated audio player to preview the audio duplicates
  • User can manual select the duplicate audio files for deletion
  • Duplicate audio files can be moved to Recycle Bin, custom folder or deleted permanently
  • Supports MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, WAV, OGG, AIFF, AAC, MP4, FLAC, AC3, WavPack (WV), Musepack (MPC) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) file formats
  • Has intuitive interface and rich documentation

    Supported file formats:

  • AAC Files (*.aac; *.mp4, *.m4a) - iTunes Audio Files including Apple Lossles audio
  • AC3 Files (*.ac3)
  • Audio IFF Files (*.aif; *.aiff)
  • FLAC Files (*.flac)
  • MPEG Audio Files (*.mp3;*.mp2;*.mp1;*.mpa)
  • Musepack Files (*.mpc)
  • OGG Files (*.ogg)
  • WAVE Files (*.wav)
  • WavPack Files (*.wv)
  • Windows Media Audio Files (*.wma)

 


Audio Dedupe - Command-line Parameters (Available only in Corporate Version)


Command-Line Parameters Usage: (Available only in Corporate Version)

AudioDedupe.exe -src_list <srclistfilename> -target_list <targetfilename> -log <logfilename> -s <similarity> -db <dbfilename> [-cachenames]

-src_list <srclistfilename> - specifies a plain text file which contains file names that you want to compare against <targetfilename> files
-target_list <targetfilename> - specifies a plain text file which contains file names that you want to compare against <srclistfilename> files

Note: If you omit -target_list parameter only -src_list files will be scanned

-log <logfilename> - specifies full path file name where the log from the comparison will be saved, e.g. c:\log.txt
-s <similarity> - specifies a similarity in percents. Example: -s 70
-db <dbfilename> - specifies the cache file name to be used or created.

-cachenames - if this option is specified, the program will store file names in cache instead of files checksum

Note: Cache files store audio files information gathered during the preprocessing pass (1st pass) of the scanning process. So if you often scan the same files, using cache file speeds up considerably the preprocessing pass.
You don't need to create the cache file. Just specify it as a parameter and the program will create it. Or if the cache file from previous scan exists the program will use it. The cache files extension is ADCF (Audio Dedupe Cache File).

Example: AudioDedupe.exe -src_list "c:\src.txt" -target_list "c:\target.txt" -log "c:\log.txt" -s 70 -db "c:\db.adcf"

This will find all audio files with similarity >= 70% and save their file names and similarity in c:\log.txt file

Note: If some of the parameters contain spaces, you must enclose them in double quotes. Example: -src_list "c:\program files\files.txt"


Sample src.txt and target.txt file contents:

C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (3).mp3
C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (3).mpc
C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (4).mp3
C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (4).ogg
C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (5).mp3
C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (6).mp3
C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (7).mp3

Sample log.txt file contents:

* DUPLICATES OF * : C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (3).mp3
*** DUPLICATE 1 (SIMILARITY 98) *** : C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (3).mpc
* DUPLICATES OF * : C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (4).mp3
*** DUPLICATE 1 (SIMILARITY 95) *** : C:\My Documents\MP3\Track (4).ogg
