Audio Dedupe

What is Audio Dedupe?

Audio Dedupe is a versatile tool designed to identify and manage duplicate audio files, even when they are stored in different formats or lack ID3 tags. Unlike traditional duplicate file finders, this application can "listen" to your music and recognize similar tracks, regardless of file type. Users can specify a similarity threshold, typically around 70, to detect duplicates. Additionally, the tool offers fast hash or file size algorithms to identify exact duplicate MP3 files Once the scanning process is complete, Audio Dedupe presents all the discovered audio file duplicates in organized groups. Users can then easily select and mark the lower-quality versions, such as those with smaller bitrate, shorter length, or smaller file size, for deletion. This streamlined approach allows users to quickly reclaim valuable disk space by removing unnecessary duplicates The application also provides a backup feature, enabling users to move the identified duplicates to a specified folder while maintaining the original directory structure. Audio Dedupe supports a wide range of audio file formats, including MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, WAV, OGG, AIFF, AAC, MP4, FLAC, AC3, WavPack (WV), Musepack (MPC), and Windows Media Audio (WMA). Its intuitive user interface and comprehensive documentation make it an efficient and user-friendly tool for managing audio file collections
