There are multiple comparison modes available for you to choose: You can search for identical or strong duplicates, compare various music tags (song name, artist, duration, album, release year, bitrate), identify similar music or compare file properties. The size of the file is also a filtering criteria.

The search results are shown in a separate tab, allowing you to preview them before taking action to eliminate duplicates.

Dupes can be removed, relocated to another folder or replaced with a symbolic link. In case you get an overwhelming number of duplicates, don’t worry, as iTunes Duplicate Finder Free features simple selection tools and exporting options to help you work productively.

No matter how hard one might try to avoid adding duplicates to the iTunes libraries, there might still be cases of files that are similar or identical. Removing them is part of your PC’s maintenance routine and this particular application can help you out at no cost.
