Duplicate Audio Finder

If you are like me, you still enjoy having your own music collection to be able to listen to while offline, in a dedicated player. Downloading music and storing audio files locally is definitely a good idea, but not keeping all those files organized might lead to a clutter that could include duplicate files as well. These take up storage space and contribute to the slow performance of the PC.

Taking advantage of audio fingerprinting technology, Duplicate Audio Finder is able to compare audio files of various types and detect duplicates, allowing you to manage them easier and free up storage space.

As the name suggests, Duplicate Audio Finder is designed for audio files only. However, it can save some of the storage space occupied by identical songs that end up either in the same or different directories on the local PC.

What is interesting is that the technology it is based on allows it to match similar songs found in different audio formats. Some of the most common file formats are supported, including WAV, MP3, FLAC, AVI, FLV, f4V, MP4 and the list does not end here.

While file name, size, format and metadata are criteria that are also used for comparison, the application actually plays, listens and compares songs to find similarities.

The audio matching algorithm of Duplicate Audio Finder is practically its flagship feature. Regardless of the file size, audio quality, bit rate, the application promises to detect audio files that sound similar. It can also compare and match files of different duration and different volume levels, with or without additional audio filtering and background noise.

There are options to delete, move and copy duplicate files inside the application, so that you don’t need to use system explorer to take action and remove duplicates. Moreover, the application delivers an embedded audio player that you can use to make sure matching files are indeed similar.

Using the power of multicore PCs, Duplicate Audio Finder can easily compare files located either in two separate folders, but it can also try to find duplicate audio files in the same directory. Its advanced dupe detection algorithm makes it possible to easily find duplicate audio files on your PC, even if they are saved in different formats and have different playback quality.
