Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Hi - Hoping this is the right thread for this

I am wondering if there would be any possibility to add Discogs as an internet source for Album Art?

We can add to the wish list.

Thanks for the consideration

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Yes you can, but if you are dealing with hundreds of files in a mass delete, it can be risky. It would be nice to be able to add an option to make a new folder to send the dupes to for reevaluation at your convenience. When you use recycle bin there are size limitations and you could accidentally clean it with dupes in it.

So based on my concerns about putting 500-2000 songs in the recycle bin, is there any possibly of a future modification allowing for dumping files to an alternative folder beside Recycle Bin?

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I have a large Itunes music folder 31,304 songs but over the years I have accumalated a ton of dupes or same songs from different albums and have tried many different dupe programs to clean up the mess. Here is a recent count using differnt sources Reported Dupes Itunes Software

Reported Dupes from Itunes

10183 songs From Itunes As of Dec 16 2018


5597 songs Similarity As of Dec 16 2018

12914 songs Perfect Tunes DeDup As of Dec 16 2018

3372 songs Tune Sweeper Software as of Dec 16 2018

See my problem and effort to try to clean it up. Putting a mass dupe dump in a new folder seems the best way to deal with the effort to clean up and reevalute.

You can send to the recycle bin, then straight after drag them out of the recycle bin to a different location.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Is it possible to have the Itunes Dupe Mass Delete use a folder other than Recycle-Bin to deposit dupe song titles. This way you would have a way to correct any mistakes with dupes if discovered later. Being able to choose anothe rfoler to use would be a great benefit. I am a regestered user of Dedupe 3.1 Thanks

Would you consider a Mac version of this?

I too would love a Mac version, but they have said multiple times in multiple threads that the answer is (sadly) no.

Windows 10 x64 PerfectTUNES R2.1

Today I copied a music folder that was in my phone to PC and wanted to isolate the new music files (Ones that aren't in my PC) that I had added to the folder from my phone through various sources. De-Dup detected the some files and I deleted them and when I was going to copy the music left by it to the relevant folders in my PC I found files in my PC with exact names and bit rates and duration. Only the size was different by few 1000 bytes due to not having album art embedded to some tracks. Also I'm sure these files are 2 copies single file. I can submit the files for you if you want to have a look at the issue.

P.S: I have being using the programme since it's beta releases and I pretty well familiar of it.

If you run accuraterip it will tell you that these 4 files are corrupted, that is why they cannot be compared to the 4 others which are not corrupted.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

Weakness displaying 50,000 duplicates as each is shown with cover art, so it is 50,000 cover arts.

With DeDup you would have to press delete 50,000 times, perhaps it is not the best choice for you.

Re: PerfectTUNES discussion

I copied over most of my music from another machine plus there were backups from the other machine. I was trying to find an easy way to delete all the duplicates that I know are there, as opposed to going back and forth between different drives and directories. Possibly De-Dup isn't the tool for me.

By weakness internally, do you mean a weakness internal to De-Dup?
