RE: J.River Mac Version Sonic Comparison

Sorry for the ["huh?"] Subject Line! It must have been left over from a previous post.

Your plan of using Powershell seems prudent.

My >250K tracks, consist of >10K HD tracks and >10K DSD files. Besides that,some albums have different release and mastering dates. I say this, because it would be difficult for me to dedup by file name (album name).

SongKong took over 3-days to run on my database. Although I didn't time it, dBpoweramp's dedup probably took at least that long. But in both cases, tracks are being deeply analyzed -- a must in my database's case.

Although SongKong's learning curve to get everything correct is time consuming, it isn't difficult. For example, I performed 70 test runs to get the results I wanted. Thereafter, on the 71'st run, the payback of having copious metadata results, was well worth the time, effort and cost. My metadata and folder structure was is pretty good shape before Songkong. But it was much improved with SongKong.

While Songkong will also dedup, I much preferred dBpoweramp's dedup's graphical output. It made deleting tracks much easier for me and my many SD, HD, DDS, versions of the same album.

Songkong allows a free trial, which I used before its purchase.
