Q. I have a huge collection of Aerosmith songs, I’ve collected hundreds of songs but many are duplicates. Some are live versions; some copies are better than others. I just want one of each. What can I do?
A. The process of organizing these songs manually would be a long and cumbersome task. But with ID Tag comparing in Easy Duplicate Finder it’s fast and simple. The steps are:
1. Set Easy Duplicate Finder into Audio Tag Mode (Compare Music Tags)
2. Set the Music Tags settings to look at the song Title Tags
3. Choose the folders, and drives of where to look for Aerosmith songs
4. Press ‘Start’
5. When the search completes a list of results is produced. This report will show the following characteristics about each song listed: Title, Artist, Album, and Duration. It may also show: Track, Year, Genre and Bit Rate depending on your settings.
6. Each song will belong to a numbered duplicate group allowing you to decide which version to keep – based on the characteristics of the file.
7. That’s all there is to it, you can use this process to view all the song duplicates and select which ones to delete of move off to a different folder.
• Tip: you can double-click on any song and it will begin playing in the associated music player on your computer.
