How To Delete Duplicates From iTunes Collection

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! ;)

How Can Duplicate Music Finder Help Personally You?

Well, it's not easy to respond immediately without knowing all ins and outs of such software. Before you are ready to answer this, let's find out what it offers its users. Having paraphrased a well-known ad slogan, we can say that not all duplicate music finders are equally useful. Details and differences may be of crucial importance. Not every duplicate music finder is able to order your music collection and delete all music clones from your hard drive. Ideally, for you to be able to enjoy songs in your collection all music files should be in one place and songs should not be repeated. But it sounds rather unrealistic and is hardly realizable without a smart duplicate music finder like, say, Audio Comparer.

Why exactly Audio Comparer, why is it so good, you're saying? Well, a bulk of reasons for that! First of all, this duplicate music finder works perfectly well with all possible music formats: MP3, MP2, MP1, WMA, AIF, WAV, WavPack, FLAC, APE, AAC, and OGG audio files are not a hard nut to crack for Audio Comparer. Secondly, it's a great musician – it listens carefully to all files in your music collection and remembers them once and for all. It soaks up the whole information like a sponge! As a result, the duplicate song finder is able to handle huge volumes of musical data and store thousands and thousands of music files with no opportunity to blank out any.

It's content-based approach that makes Audio Comparer so powerful and smart. Unlike many other similar duplicate music finders, Audio Comparer analyzes music files and compares them by their audio content, not file properties, like name or tags or whatever. Music files in your collection may even have various compression types or encoding bit rate – for Audio Comparer it makes no difference at all! What really matters is music and sound!

The listening procedure is by no means time-consuming and no matter how large your music collection is, the program is extremely efficient. As a result, Audio Comparer finds ALL music clones on your hard drive and you are able to delete the redundant files in a couple of mouse clicks and sort all the rest in whatever way you like.

What is more, if you like, having analyzed bit rate and sound, the program can even give you advice concerning the files having better and worse sound quality and will also suggest their deleting in a one step. If you've got used to doing everything yourself, you may listen to them once more (deleting confirmation window offers a primitive player) and after all, delete them yourself.

So using this powerful duplicate music finder can help you stop worrying about the order on your PC hard drive, can help you organize your music library in a clever and logical way, finally, starting with version 1.5, it can perfect you your iTunes music library as well. A bunch of benefits actually! Download a free trial version of Audio Comparer to evaluate it and you'll see we are far from exaggerating!
