How to Find Duplicate Songs

---

Steps to find and remove similar and duplicate songs using similarity analysis and Audio Comparison:

1. Add the folders or drive that you want to search for duplicate songs in the folders list.
2. Choose "Audio Compare" scan mode, set the similarity level, and press "Scan".
3. Review the duplicate audio files and delete, move, or copy them.

In "Audio Compare" mode, the tool employs advanced audio analysis techniques that go beyond relying on tags or file names. Instead, it thoroughly examines the actual audio content of music files. This mode ensures a more accurate and comprehensive assessment, identifying similarities and differences based on the sound itself rather than metadata or naming conventions. By utilizing this mode, the duplicate music cleaner enhances its ability to pinpoint duplicates or similar tracks, providing a robust and reliable approach to deduplicating your music library.

Finding repeating tracks is as simple as that. If you want to compare folders or add filter follow this Detailed Tutorial on How To Find Duplicate Audio Files

Duplicate Audio Cleaner - Compare Folders

---

While you can remove all duplicate songs and music from computer, drive, network or folder, you can also compare two or more folders for duplicate songs.

You can set a "source" folder in order to exclude it from auto-check and preserve the items inside. There is a per-folder option "Exclude from self-scan" which denotes that the items inside that "source" folder will not be compared with each other - they will be compared only with items from the other folders in the list. Read more on How To Exclude A Folder From Scan

There is also an "Exclude from auto-check" option which can be used separately or in combination with the "Exclude from self-scan option". Ticking the option for the corresponding folder denotes that the items inside will not be marked if the auto-check feature is used. Read more on How To Exclude A Folder From Auto-Check

Duplicate MP3 Finder Command-line Parameters

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

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

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.

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
