    Duplicate File searching thingummy

    Ok, so I decided that as a new year's resolution kinda thing I'm going to catalogue my MP3s into some sort of logical order. Only problem is that I KNOW there are a bunch of dupe files in there and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on something to search for them? I reckon on around a GiB of wasted storage due to bad labelling/dupe files, so you'd make me a very happy monkey...

    Indeed it does - will give it a whirl. Had a look around the usual suspect (download.com etc) but there seemed to be masses offering similar stuff, so was hoping someone else had been in a recent position on these fair shores. Anyhoo, off to try noclone!

    EDIT - scratch that, this looks like the baby - cheers for the pointer Moby!

    It's just cleared me 1.51GiB. You can only clear 30 files at a time unless you pay for the full version (which is actually fairly reasonably priced now that I noticed the 32.90 was in USD rather than GBP) but once you have scanned and marked them all it's a case of delete all except one/repeat. Took me about 15 runs to clear it and next to no time.
