Ask the Readers: Find and remove duplicate MP3s?


Reader Jay needs some help with his MP3 library:

Do you have any suggestions for robust software that can aid in the task of eliminating duplicates and near duplicates from a large MP3 library? This is a universal and serious problem for anyone who has been working MP3s for a long time.

Indeed it is, Jay. I wish I could recommend iTunes, which makes easy work of finding duplicates. However, it can't delete the duplicates outright; it only removes them from your iTunes library. So, what do you say, Lifehacker readers? Got a solution for Jay? Put it in the comments.
