I want to know if there are any duplicated songs in my stored folder and get to remove the duplicate. I also wish to remove any remix if it’s along with the original. For Spotify playlists, there’s a site available but I want to do the same locally. Is there any music manager available?
Hello everyone. The fastest and easiest way I found is this one: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/14777027
Thanks for posting the update on what you used
MusicBee has Tools -> Manage Duplicates
Thanks. I’ll try this out as well. Edit: Thanks bro, this worked in my first try itself.
Not ideal, but what I do is to load all musics onto VLC, open the list view (Ctrl L on Linux), let the list fully load, sort by song name and check what appears repeated or that I don’t want for other reasons. It also helps if the songs are metadata-rich, such as the ones bought from Bandcamp and ITunes (not Apple Music), so it’s easier to differentiate them (given this community, I have no clue how/where from yours are). And lastly, there’s a little plugin I found a while back that helps a bunch, vlc-delete, which adds the option to delete the currently playing file, and that, at least in the Linux version, benefits from motor memory since it can be executed with a quick succession of 2 Alt shortcuts.
Hmm. I’ll give it a try. Seems a bit complicated at first for me haha.
Sadly I couldn’t think of a better way yet. 😔
Though not due to piracy, I also end up with a lot of repeated, redundant and/or unwanted files, so I’m often having to delete them.
Haha, happens.
If you only want to find duplicates give czkawka a try. It has a nice GUI too.
I don’t know how good it is for music duplicates I only used it to find duplicate pictures and worked very well !
I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
Tell me how it went :) curious if it worked out !
