Hello,

I have a collection of mp3 files. When I play them, I find that duplicate songs are there, but have different file name, size etc.
Googling gave me idea that I need some "audio fingerprinting" but I could not find any win exe which will scan file mp3 folders and give me a list of duplicate mp3 files.

I got lots of android or win programs which will "listen" and not scan for it. Also found Python / Perl codes for it.

Is there a win exe available as I require ?

Regards,

Anand

Thanks Shades for the links.

I found similarity more or less satisfactory now.
