You might already have some sort of MP3 comparison tool software. After all, you know that computers are awesome for listening to digital music and sound files of every type. You probably have sound files in a variety of formats, no just popular music in MP3 but recordings you've made, WAV sound files and some in WMV format. And you know that when you move those files around, it's easy to get duplicates in different places on your hard drive.
MP3 files are especially large, and if you copy instead of cut as you organize your drives, it's easy to get duplicates here and there, taking up unnecessary space. An MP3 comparison tool helps you find those duplicate files and eliminate them so you only have one copy on your hard drive, or you only have copies of the file where you want them.
For the person with lots of sound files on his or her computer, there's a brand new MP3 comparison tool that can help you sort them out, even if you've used some sort of audio comparer before. Why would you want to use a new one?
Ever Renamed a File?
How many times have you look at the name of a file and wondered exactly what it was? Most of us name and rename image, document and sound files with a more descriptive name so that when you lok at the file in a list, we know what it contains. Those files called OOO3923829xx.wav are much better renamed "Billy singing" or "Feb 5 jam session". That mix of two different songs needs a descriptive name, too. Unless you're super organized, you probably still have the original files floating around on your system.
Having a few like that doesn't pose much of a problem, of course, but several just eat up space, as sound files can be several megabytes each. You could be slowing down your computer without even realizing it. And even if you've used an MP3 comparison tool before, you probably have almost as many duplicates on your computer as you did before.
That's because other types of MP3 comparison tool software only compares file names. If you have the same exact file, named the name, in different folders, that software will tag it. But if you've renamed the file, it doesn't recognize it.
An MP3 Comparison Tool with a Good Ear
The best software, though, doesn't just compare file names, it actually listens to your sound files and compares them based on the content, not the name or the file size. This is the only way to detect and eliminate duplicates you've renamed!
And the MP3 comparison tool does al the work. In about 1 second per sound file it samples each sound filesand compares them, then gives you the results in an easy to read tree format, so you can manually make the final decisions. For the first time since you've started downloading sound files you can have complete control over your collection!
