Unfortunately, both of these tools failed to identify them as duplicates. Unfortunately, Clone Files Checker does not provide this feature.ĭuplicate Cleaner also enables you to specify if you just want the content inside the files to be ignored and just want the scan to be carried out by taking into account other similar attributes.Īnd there are also some advanced filtering options to modify your scan criteria.īoth of these tools allow you to search for duplicate music files.Īs you can see, both the tools allow us to scan the content of the music files to identify the duplicates, apart from the obvious metadata search.Īs a test case, we added two music files of the same song with nominal variation (My Immortal by Evanescence from Fallen and Origin albums) and scanned for duplicates. Although this option takes up a considerable amount of time if you’re looking among a large number of files with a low similarity threshold. And it does identify these two files as potential duplicates. Hence we changed the content of the two files into “Hello friends” and “Hello friend”, and set the similarity threshold at 90%. Since Duplicate Cleaner Pro provides an additional feature where it scans the content present inside the file and looks up for files containing the same content. In order to test the duo, let’s make two text files which contain exactly identical content, and then scan them.īoth the tools identify these duplicate files without any hassle. You’ll easily notice the complex filtering options that Duplicate Cleaner provides, compared to the intermediate level options incorporated by Clone Files Checker. The first difference that’ll strike you in the first look is the filtering options in these two tools.
