Audio Comparer - Highly recommended
"Music is my love and my life for a long time already. I've been working with music for so long that my hard drive is full of audio files, many of them are duplicates... I rejected the idea to organize them all manually, because it would be just impossible, but Audio Comparer did its very best and coped with it masterly! Thank you very much for your work! Highly recommend to all people having large music collections!"

How do I delete duplicate songs without wasting time?
We often don't notice how many songs we have in our music collection. Even less visible is the number of duplicate songs in your iTunes library and movie collection. It's usually obvious when your computer breaks down pretty regularly, and the same songs repeat now and then and make you cross instead of relaxed and inspired.
So when you get fed up with all these, then Audio Comparer will be a program to remember! It's a brand-new program that always effectively comes to the rescue in such situations. You probably know that finding and correspondingly deleting duplicate songs is not easy to do manually because music collections are enormous as a rule. Therefore, Audio Comparer is just the ticket! It's head and shoulders above the competitors! This software is intellectual; it doesn't matter to the program which formats your songs are in, how many you've got, or whether tags are filled in or not. It carefully "listens" (you can even observe that) to your music collection and remembers the songs forever. Finally, it finds and deletes duplicate songs from your group and iTunes library automatically.
Let's see how Audio Comparer operates and removes duplicate songs.
First, show the program where all your songs are located. The Comparison Wizard will help you do that easily and quickly - about a second per song. After you do that, the program starts the listening process, which you can even observe. Listening is the key to the program's functionality because Audio Comparer has a perfect ear for music and always remembers the songs it has once heard! It recognizes files by audio content, not file properties; that's why it can find not only complete duplicates but just similar files as well.
After that, it launches the comparison process and presents the results. The results are conveniently organized in the form of a tree, which represents duplicates found. Working with the results is convenient; the program itself can mark the files as having worse or better quality and, if you need, delete duplicate songs automatically in a couple of clicks! Still, before removing duplicate songs, the program will ask you to confirm or, if needed, listen to the files. There is a built-in player right in the confirmation window, so you will have no chance to delete a needed file.
Finally, the major advantage of the program is that it greatly handles enormous, huge collections that contain several thousand songs. Apart from that, the program can detect and delete duplicate songs in your iTunes library as well. You don't even need to do anything special; using Comparison Wizard, you'll have to put a tick in the corresponding checkbox.
So, using just one expert program, Audio Comparer, you will be able to solve two problems at once and unclutter your music collection and iTunes library at the same time!
