Sooo, you fire up the program and point it to all your music files.
It catalogs it and does all the usual stuff, but it has one neat-oh feature:
“Search for duplicates”.
Hey, I’m Nick. I’m from the Netherlands where it’s legal to download artistic stuff like music and movies. So yeah, I got a ton of MP3s, Winamp says 7958, so let’s make it 8000. Now, among those are a lot of duplicates. You know, we have a radio station here and that plays a “Top 2000 all time”, if you download that each year –> lots of dupes.
So I desperately need that program! Hahaha…
But alas, I don’t have the time. Girlfriend, school, school, school and our secret project are taking up quite a lot of time. School being the most dominant, but my gf the most important of course. But hey, if you happen to know a good piece of open free software that can do what I described above, leave a comment.
Secret project is coming along nicely by the way. Don’t hold your breath for the first alpha, but it’ll be sooner than we both thought, I think. It’s gonna be awesome.
See
you
around,

Why don’t you try Songbird? It’s free, it’s open-source and it’s pretty cool. I use it myself to listen to SHOUTcast radio’s. It might have what you’re looking for. And otherwise you can always make your own add-on to take care of the problem.

I talked this over with Michael already but wth.
Songbird was okay. It didn’t have the duplicate option tho, and it was pretty “slow”. I couldn’t scroll fluently for example. It did read in all my files without problem, unlike Winamp which crashes when scanning my music folder. So it’s (from this small test) more stable, but way slower than Winamp. Too bad.
