I have accumulated several thousand MP3 files and would like to weed out just the duplicates. Is there a (preferably free) piece of software that doesn't need to play/burn etc but will search all attached drives & then list the dupes?Andy Whitehouse
There are lots of programs that will find duplicate files by making byte-for-byte comparisons rather than just looking at the filenames. Unfortunately I can't find a good free one. Commercial or shareware examples include ExamDiff Pro, Duplicate File Detective, and NoClone Home Edition, with the cheapest at $15 being Spaceman 99. Searching Download.com will turn up a few more, here. Most offer at least a free trial.
