RE: J.River Mac Version Sonic Comparison

Thanks that is very useful information!

I do own DBPowerAmp latest version and I did try it's perfect tunes de-dup a while ago.

But due to the fact it apparently went into never, never land while trying to process my files, and also that I was not sure I had enough free space for it to work properly, I gave up on it for a while and decided I needed to get things better prepared and provide more disk spaces before I tried again.

Being a programmer, I just am not willing to wait days for a process to complete I guess.


My plan now is to use powershell to populate one single "master" folder containing a complete collection of all my music files, deduped, and no subfolders.

Powershell has already populated a complete database listing of all my music files and their locations on all my drives - including when filenames are the same but locations are different (dupes).

Next step will be to use powershell to physiclaly copy files to a master folder containing no dupes (based on filename, not paths). The query to identify location of deduped filnamess took ~750 ms.

Then we will see what one of the other music based re-orgaizers can do to build a meta data based folder heirarchy from the master deduped folder.
