Similarity - Great program for finding duplicate audio files

[peteyt]

Just thought I'd share something I've came accross latley. As a station owner myself, music is important. I'm subscribed to a monthly service which gives me some new tracks for quite cheap, but one of the problems I find is i'm often discovering multiple tracks e.g. you might have two of the same tracks but spelt slightly different such as Ft and feat

This program has saved me checking through all them, as it does it itself. It is able to check metadata, but also can content - e.g. it plays songs in a sense, works out if you have any songs that sound similar, or identical. It gives percentages for matches to making it easier to spot which are definate copies.

The only problem I've found is using the experimental alogthim doesn't work - it says it will be slow, however I left the scan on for over 12 hours and seemed to get stuck at a certain percentage and not move. But without using this it seems to work fine. It's also 100 percent free.

Oh nice that's quite helpful for people with a large music collection

Yep although if you do like me have a large music collection it can take quite a while
