Duplicate finder

Hey! Very excited about this project!

I browsed the roadmap, but couldnt find anything about duplicate tracks.


Djs with collection of tens of thousands of tracks could really use a working duplicate finder. It could check dupes from waveform or something, not from filename like many other similar apps does.


Cheers!

Hey!

Great idea, I'll get this added to our roadmap and put it in front of the community to vote on

What https://www.similarityapp.com/ does, would be great - not just using the meta tags to compare but the audio information.

Hi there!

At the moment we check only the file path.

What if we instead checked size, duration, artist and title? Would that be sufficient in preventing duplicates without the risk of false positives?

Thanks in advance!

just comparing the tags would only work if the user is sure that the tags are 100% correct - the app i mentioned does this and also checks for audio content. but i think an complete audio comparison is out of scope for this project

Hi guys,

I'm pleased to announce that MIXO v1.12 has just gone live with a new Duplicate Checker feature!

This is a simple duplicate checker that compares the duration and track titles. For performance, it doesn't compare audio signatures at this stage, which can be time-consuming and heavy on CPU, but it's fast and works well in most cases.


More information can be found here:

Feedback welcome!

Would it be possible to add option to keep all duplicates of a specific track right now I have few tracks that are flagged under duplicates but actually are slightly different but know way to select keep for all the versions or an option to skip that track from being deleted?

All you need to do is uncheck the selected track in that group (so none of them are selected) and it will exclude all of them.

Thanks! I can't believe I didn't think of this!
