Hi, you can run Delete Duplicates and generate a report. Hence, after SongKong finds duplicates, what would the output look like? That is, how easy would it be to see/figure out whether the tracks are exact duplicates or differ because of bit rates or they’re from different albums etc.? And more importantly, using the duplicate output, can one easily make delete decisions track by track ? Or is it a delete ALL, or nothing situation ? Lastly Paul, assuming I purchase SongKong and after we point to my collection and my son’s, in a sequence of actions, what would you recommend be done first, second etc.? Given your above advise, it sounds like Fix Songs should be the 1st. Hence, after SongKong finds duplicates, what would the output look like?

And more importantly, using the duplicate output, can one easily make delete decisions track by track? Or is it a delete ALL, or nothing situation? From past experience with this subject, I know that human intervention must come into play by analyzing the results and performing a pick & choose process before ANY tracks are permanently deleted. I would have liked to see the output of Delete Duplicates – a format and layout example via my database, of the found duplicates. “It is not currently possible to do the same comprehensive test with Delete Duplicates because unless just doing the Metadata option it currently relies on fingerprints/metadata being added by Fix Songs and these will not be added if only running in preview mode.” “I’m working on a solution to this.” You can also elect to only search within an audio format so that for example if have a a Flac lib, and an mp3 lib it would only find duplicates if song in same Flac lib twice.Īlso, MB also can group editions of albums under one album (known as release group), this means we can choose in SongKong to only consider duplicate if exact same album, or if just edition of album. Then with Delete Duplicates you can elect to find duplicate songs based on having the same song Id and same album Id (i.e you have the same album twice), or just song id (have same song but maybe on two completely different albums, e.g original and a compilation). In the simple case SongKong identifies folder of songs to tracks within the same album, then each song has a MB song Id, and MB album id added. I understand where you are coming from but I respectfully disagree.

In my opinion, what is important to understand is that no software can properly process duplicate albums because… there’s no such thing as an “album” in your music collection. This work should be done for each artist, in the artist view, not the album view. This will allow you to access them later on, if needed.
You need to identify which part of these duplicates are part of different editions (initial, remasters, special editions, hi-rez, lossy, etc), which are part of compilations and which ones are really duplicates of the same album.Put the list on a piece of paper per artist.
