a couple of requests...

[words_unravel]

Sorry for the LJ-spammage tonight, dear flist, but I have a favor to ask of you.

Can anyone recommend a duplicate file finder/remover? I'm tired of having six million copies of the same song but it's a ridiculous process for me to go in and manually delete them.

Any info/ideas would be greatly appreciated!


Oh, yeah. Does anyone have the video in which Ray Toro apparently throws down his guitar to start wailing into the microphone? Both universeunfold and fallingfortruth have said I need to watch that, but they can't find it.

Bueller? Bueller?


Love you guys. Gotta go think about what I need to write for no_tags. Sweet.

if you're using iTunes, there is a built in option to display duplicates under file. Helpful if they're labeled the same thing but it will also show live versions and remixes etc. To have a truly tidy music collection though I would not be without TuneUp. it can find all the track details for even the worst labeled stuff, album art, etc. Trial version does a max of 500 tracks, 50 album covers, but the gold version is so worth paying for, imo.

i've done the display duplicates in itunes, but oh man, i have waaaay too many to delete them manually. lol *is lazy*

i did look at the TuneUp webpage and it looks pretty awesome. i think my biggest problem is that i have an itunes library for my work computer and one for my laptop (stuuuuupid me). so i'd probably have to import one into the other and then run TuneUp.

basically what i really want is something that i can say 'hey look at all the music here, here, and here, import it to one spot, get rid of all the dupes, and export it so that everything will be all pretty and neat when i put into my media player.'

...yeah. probably not gonna happen, lol.

lol, no probably not going to happen at all. i mean, if you consolidate your itunes library (a tools option in itunes i think) it'll resort all music from one computer into the itunes folder of that pc, and then you could delete all the strays. if you moved all music to one pc, and uninstalled itunes, when you reinstall it it'd ask you if you want to consolidate all music, and do it right then anyway. then it'd all be in there in one go, and in the itunes folder in one go, delete the strays, and run tuneup! and set your itunes to automatically copy music to the itunes folder, so much easier.

man, all this talk about a messy music system makes me want to come to your house and sort it for you! i am a perfectionist about itunes. it must be correctly labeled, have all appropriate album art, and where none is available i must add pictures. i have recently gone through and been deleting old live stuff i no longer want to listen to, and maing sure all the tracks are mp3 *is padantic*
