Audio Comparer 1.2

Audio Comparer 1.2 is a Windows desktop application for MP3, MP2, MP1, WMA, AIF, WAV and OGG audio files comparison. The program's main goal is to find duplicate audio files and sort them in whatever way you want.

Audio Comparer is a must-have tool for every music lover. Even if your music collection is not large there are surely several duplicates in there. If you have a phenomenal audio memory you may try to find duplicates yourself, though that would be very hard work. Audio Comparer tool will do it for you. No matter what audio format your songs have, no matter they are perhaps without tags. Audio Comparer doesn't need tags or pay attention to the format. It just listens to your audio files like a human ear and remembers your entire collection. Then the tool can quickly locate similar and duplicate audio files.

Assume you have the same album of your favorite band in MP3 and WMA formats. The only tool that can help you to automatically locate these duplicates is Audio Comparer. The tool will suggest you what duplicate is better to keep and what to remove according to their calculated
quality.

Audio Comparer can listen to your entire music collection, in all formats, and remember it all. The set of audio files is named "audio group" in the program. You can make your entire collection into one audio group or divide it into several groups. The "listening" process is very fast, Audio Comparer spends approximately just 1 second per MP3 file to listen and remember it. It is much faster than you can do it manually! When an audio group is formed, you may make a comparison within this group or compare it with another group. The audio comparison process is even faster and you'll get the comparison results in seconds. Once the audio comparison is done, Audio Comparer will display the results in a tree. Each nested branch is an audio file with a similarity degree within the parent branch file. You can mark files as you want and batch copy, move or delete them. This makes it easy to find and remove duplicate MP3, WMA or OGG files.
