Audio Dedupe: Remove Duplicate Audio Files

Open-source tool for identifying and deleting duplicate audio files, analyzing music tracks by their acoustic fingerprint

What is Audio Dedupe?

Audio Dedupe is an open-source command line tool for finding duplicate audio files. It works by analyzing the actual audio content of the music files rather than just looking at file names or metadata.

Specifically, Audio Dedupe calculates an acoustic fingerprint for each audio file and then compares those fingerprints to group identical tracks together. It supports all common audio formats including MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, etc.

Once analyzed, Audio Dedupe provides an interactive console-based interface to browse and take actions on the duplicate music files. You can choose to delete duplicates or just move them into a separate folder. It also provides advanced options like only considering files duplicate if they match 100% or allowing some duration differences.

By removing duplicate audio files, Audio Dedupe can help recover lots of wasted disk space. It's useful for cleaning up large music collections where the same tracks may have ended up in the library multiple times. Audio Dedupe is open-source software written in Python and works on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
