Duplicate Songs

[Doctorpc]

Using - Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon: looking for a free program to identify duplicate songs in my music folder. The songs do not have the same name. All the songs are mp3.

Why?

I just remove them myself.

Maybe that depends on how many he has?

On this pc I have just over 6GB of music....and that was bad enough to sort out when muggins(me) managed to duplicate a bloody great handful of them!

Some of the music managers/players have a de duplicate thingie in them. Not mine.(DeaDBeef music player.)

I've deleted the poll, it is not really a Poll and has no choices.

Good luck, OP.

If they were copied on accident through file manager they should have duplicate or copy in front or behind them and if that is so use file manager to search duplicate or copy (you could search only mp3) and then delete all files that you don't want anymore.
