iTunes libraries are gaining popularity day by day. Well, it’s understandable – they’re multifunctional (“all-in-one” concept is always in demand and will hardly ever come out of fashion) and they are really convenient to use. It all would be just great but for the chaos accompanying such extensive collections of songs and other types of media content. As time goes by, the number of songs in iTunes libraries is growing so fast that the dream of any clear organization of this library seems absolutely unrealistic. At a definite moment we realize that we aren’t aware of which songs precisely we’ve got in iTunes library. What is even more annoying than this disorderliness is the presence of multiple duplicates overloading your iTunes library, and preventing you from enjoying you favourite music and relaxing.
Finding and deleting duplicates manually is hardly realistic, but all sorts of software available these days make the task a bit easier. Let’s take Audio Comparer with iTunes support. It’s one of the best duplicate finders which masterly detects and deletes duplicates by making your music collection merely perfect! Let’s see how it works.
First of all, when starting Audio Comparer, you’ll see Comparison Wizard which aim is to facilitate your first steps working with the program. All you have to do here is follow the instructions and you’re sure to avoid troubles organizing your iTunes library. In the window where you are supposed to form an Audio group, you’ll see the checkbox "Use iTunes Library". There’s not even any necessity to specify which folders to handle, just put a "tick" in this checkbox. That’s enough for the program to start searching. Moreover, you are welcome to create an Audiogroup of iTunes songs without even using Comparison Wizard: enter the menu "Audiogroup" - there you’ll see the item "New from iTunes...". Tell the program where exactly to look for your iTunes songs and the program will begin listening. Yeah, you’ve not misheard it – the program does LISTEN to your songs – very attentively and diligently, one by one, trying to remember every sound to be able in the end to compare them on a professional level.
How is it possible? What makes the program so special, so unique, you’re asking? Well, it is content-based mechanism, built in the program, which allows the program to compare songs by sound, not file properties, find duplicates and delete them all in a couple of mouse clicks. The only thing which really matters for Audio Comparer is sound. That is the criterion for comparison.
So, having listened to your songs and found duplicates in your iTunes library, the program suggests removing them from your iTunes collection. No extra efforts needed here – in the process of removing duplicates in the confirmation window you will also see a checkbox "Update iTunes Library" which is activated on default. Being active, this function allows the user to remove automatically the duplicates chosen from iTunes library as well. That’s the whole story! Quickly and expertly!
Well, if you still doubt and don’t actually believe all this is really possible, please download a trial version of Audio Comparer and all your doubts will disappear! ;)
There are many things in life that make us happy, relaxed; that help us to make the right decision and sometimes find a way out of the most challenging situations. Music is one of the most powerful sources of inspiration and positive emotions for humans. However, being meant to make us cheerful, delighted, excited, music can hardly perform its major function, if your playlist looks as messy as life. And the root of all evil is a large number of duplicate songs or clone music files on your PC hard drive. Well, it’s actually not surprising since music has always been extremely popular – and now many young people get really "addicted" to it, collecting soundtracks from favourite movies, sharing favourite songs with friends, buying music CDs and DVDs, etc. No wonder many even duplicate songs have got different bit rate, file names, format, tags. Well, even a highly-skilled musician would refuse to organize them all, but not Audio Comparer...
Can you remember those times when people had to do most work manually? Ugh, you'd better not to! To our relief the world has changed greatly since then.
For most of us it’s a sore point to organize a photo collection, so that it would arouse only positive emotions form the sweet memories of those times. In fact, when demonstrating our photo collection to friends and relatives, we often feel annoyed with its poor organization. It’s true, with rapid development of high-tech and growing availability of digital photo and video cameras (now every mobile phone has got one capable of taking not even hundreds, but thousands of high-quality snaps), our family image collections has become really gigantic, many images in collections being almost similar or even absolutely identical. But due to great quantity, to find duplicate images manually on a hard drive is a real "pain in the neck", which would take a lion’s share of your time and labour, what is more! That won’t do!
