Audio Dedupe - Overview
Audio Dedupe is an innovative tool that can recognize duplicate audio files even if they are stored in different file formats and are not marked with ID3 tags.
Audio Dedupe will help you to find fast all similar or exact duplicate audio files in a folder and its subfolders. Unlike other duplicate mp3 finders it will actually "listen" to your music and can recognize a song even if it is saved in different file formats. You can specify a percent of audio similarity - about 70% is a good choice. You can also choose fast hash or file size algorithms in order to find exact duplicate mp3 files. When the scan process is finished the program shows you all audio file duplicates in groups and can automatically mark the smaller bitrate, shorter length and/or smaller file size files for deletion (the lower quality ones). With a couple of mouse clicks you can get rid off all duplicate audio files and save valuable disk space. You can also backup your duplicates as the tool can move them also to a specified folder maintaining the directory structure. Supports MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, WAV, OGG, AIFF, AAC, MP4, FLAC, AC3, WavPack (WV), Musepack (MPC) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) file formats, has an intuitive user interface and is well documented.
Audio Dedupe - Features
Audio Dedupe is a powerful duplicate mp3 finder 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, iPod, iPhone 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)
Note: Audio files should be at least 90 seconds in order to provide sufficient data for audio analysis. Files shorter than 90 seconds will not be processed. |
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 |
