Remove duplicate songs and save valuable disk space. Delete annoying, repeating audio tracks from your playlist. Audio Dedupe “Listens” to your songs to find similar and repeating tracks. The tool compares the songs, not the file data, as standard duplicate file finders<\/a> do.\u00a0 There is no need for the songs to have any ID3 tags for the tool to work, as it analyzes the actual sound. Nevertheless, you can also find similar songs by Title, Artist, and Album. There is also an option to specify similarity when searching for ID3 tags. Set the similarity to 100% to find only exact matches.<\/p>\n
