Audio files can have different names and sizes, but the song may be the same, which makes it a bit difficult to locate duplicates, even with specialized applications. Unlike conventional duplicate finders, Audio Dedupe will "listen" to your audio files, to identify duplicates, regardless of their names, sizes, formats or ID3 tags. It allows you to choose other scanning methods as well and when it finds duplicate files, you can decide to move or delete them.

It should not take more than a minute to download and install Audio Dedupe. In terms of system requirements, the application is not too demanding. You can use it on any computer if it's running Windows 98 or any later edition.

The software's interface and functions are similar to other duplicate finders. You must target two or more folders and click a large Start button, in the lower right corner of the window. After a quick scanning process, Audio Dedupe will display the found duplicates in a list, in the central region of the interface. Its auto-check feature will help you select duplicates, from each group, based on certain criteria, like creation dates, lower bitrates, shorter durations and so on. Once you select the results, you can move them to a specific folder or delete them.

Before you start looking for duplicates, you can select one of three scanning methods from a drop menu, located above the Start button. Depending on your selection, the software will compare file sizes and it will target two items as duplicates only if their sizes are equal or it will consider them duplicates if the files are 100% identical. The best scanning method is audio comparing. As previously suggested, the software can determine if two or more files are the same, based on the results of a sound comparison.

When performing an audio comparison, you can set up a similarity tolerance level, to make sure that Audio Dedupe will not include similar, but non-identical songs. You can also set up various filters, to include or exclude folders or files with specific extensions, sizes, time stamps and so on.

Pros

Audio Dedupe can perform an audio comparison to identify duplicate audio files. It supports all popular audio formats and it allows you to add filters, based on their extensions, sizes, time stamps and other characteristics. The software also includes an auto-checker, to help you target multiple duplicates in a single run.

Cons

You will encounter a few restricted functions while using the trial version. Audio Dedupe will help you locate any duplicate audio files, even if they have different names, tags or formats.
