Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible with MP3Tag to search for duplicates ?
If not, it would be great suggestion to implant a feature like that, where a user can compare certain fields of the ID3Tag in order to get any duplicate songs ! Comparison for the fields.....
Artist
Album
AlbumArtist ( Band )
Title
File Name
...... would be great. Not sure if it can be implanted easily !
Cheers,
JCE

Dear JCE,
I have used option for files renaming for my 15000 files. Here we go:
1. assumtion that your tag information is CORRECT
2. Highlight all files
3. Choose Convert Tag to File name
4. Add in front **ZZZNOTDUPLICATE\_** %artist% - %title% - %\_bitrate%
5. Click OK
6. Sort all files by file name, hit refresh
7. Highlight all files WITHOUT **ZZZNOTDUPLICATE** , click right mouse, select MOVE TO then choose your folder for duplicates, click OK.
8. Refresh
9. Do Convert againg %artist% - %title% - %\_bitrate%
10. DONE
I wanted to keep files with 128 bitrate for mobile MP3 and original for backup (70 Gb)
Cheers
