According to me in my opinion Duplicate Files Deleter is the best because I am still using it now for more than 3 years & will continue to do so as it is so user friendly, simple to use & you can do anything with it & I would definitely recommend it to everyone out there who wants to sort/manage/delete any of their duplicate files & you can choose to delete any files you don't want across all platforms just like myself who have been using this amazing software without any problems. Also it supports all file extensions out there. But please backup important files first. Please use it to believe me.

you can use "duplicatefilesdeleter"

:evil: K, if u have the 2011 version, u probably don't even have the option library. In this case u gotta choose ''Podcast'' in the tree usually on the left. click the arrow to get more options, then choose the one that's named ''Files to edit''. the 2 last choices at the bottom of the files to edit options should be ''Duplicate Titles'' and ''Duplicate Content'' . then click ''duplicate content'' to start the scanning.

Note: u should probably activate a setting in the ''Options'' menu found at the top left corner in the ''Tools'' section. Once u did that, there should be a window that opens named '' Options''. On the left, find ''Library'' located a little lower than the middle of the list. Then there should be a whole bunch of stuff like: File Monitor..., a bunch of boxes to click on... with one of them being: ''Analyze files for duplicates (takes extra time)''. click that. Then do an nice ''OK'' at the bottom.

If u do all that, it should work... :P thx for reading, who ever reads this xD

[quote="frankquattrone"]Its happening with the built-in functionality. Hoping to get that to work. Haven't tried the Bex yet. Guess I'll try that unless anyone has any other ideas.[/quote]

Any little difference such as an extra space or a backwards apostrophe vs. a normal one will cause two otherwise identical tracks not to match. This has happened to me in the past but I was always able to force them to detect by doing a cut and paste from one to the the other. I realize this is no real help but I guess what I'm saying is that I never actually encountered the problem as you describe it. FWIW, I also have my files on two PC's.

Maybe someone else can figure it out but I'm stumped.

[quote="frankquattrone"]When I use Duplicate Titles, on one of my computers nothing is showing up. On another computer, there are some files but not all the duplicates are showing. I know this because I randomly picked a couple and saw that there were 3-4 duplicates of certain songs but in the Duplicate Titles, the most that was showing up on any song was 2 duplicates. Also, on neither computer is anything showing up under Duplicate Content even though I've set both to scan the library for that. The files are the same on both computers. Any suggestions on how to get this to work properly? Thanks.[/quote]

Is this occurring with the built-in Duplicate Titles (as your question seems to indicate) or with Bex's Advanced Duplicate Find? If it is the built-in search, have you tried using the Advanced Duplicate Find to see if the same thing occurs?

Thank you, Bex! As usual, you've been very helpful. :)

Yes with my duplicate script, link in signature!

Is there a way to search for just duplicate titles (just the titles) instead of titles+artist? Normally titles+artist is fine but there are times when the alternate ability would be useful to me.

Ok, I figured it out now! The nodes are on the LEFT side under library. Library/Files to Edit/Duplicate Titles or Duplicate Content. Cool... BTW, LOVE the MONKEY GOLD!!! ITunes has NOTHING on this software! Long live the MONKEY!!!

I'm still confused. When I go to Tools/Options/Library there is not a node for "files to edit". However, when I click on "Analyze tracks for duplicates (takes extra time)" the yellow balloon pops up and says. "This creates a digital signature...Files to edit>duplicate content" So I understand the second part of what he explained, but I don't understand how to access the "Duplicate titles" node as it is not there? JFR, I have under Library: Tags & Playlists/File Monitor/Auto-Organize/Virtual CD & Preview/Appearance/Filters and Views. Also, I have gold BTW even though the next poster said you didn't need it...

[quote="Regina"]Hi there,

Im new to the board so hello all :D
Im trying to clean up my ipod library starting with removing many duplicates . I have tried to follow the advice as per below but cant find the "Analyze tracks for duplicates (takes longer)" check box. I am guessing I have to have MM gold for this function? Can anyone assist me on this ?

many thanx

Tools | Options | Library
Check "Analyze tracks for duplicates (takes extra time)"

It does not require Gold.

Yes, you have several options.

MM has native duplicate finding ability built into the "Files to Edit" node, which is located in the tree as a sub node of the "Library" node.
-The "Duplicate Titles" node will find and list tracks with the same title and artist.
-The "Duplicate content" node will analyze each file's audio content and compare it to other file's audio content in your library. For duplicate content to work, you must have the option ticked "Analyze tracks for duplicates (takes longer)" in the Library settings. Then when you do a rescan of the files a hash will be generated for each one, which is used for the check.
Both nodes will display all duplicates, so you'll have to delete the duplicates that you don't want to keep manually. Though time-consuming, it is the safest way to retain that you don't delete tracks that you actually wanted to keep. [/color]
