Removing Duplicates

Veronic on ep 0171 suggested software to remove duplicates. Thought i'd add my 2c

Her suggestion : http://www.tidysongs.com/ (win & pc)

My suggestions:

For files/music: Clone Spy (win only) http://www.clonespy.com/?FAQ
- You can automate the deletion process. Looks like it compares on exact byte size (not md5 hash sum!). Allows you to prioritise folders. i.e. get it to compare folders A & B, but only deletes duplicate in folder B when required

Images: Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder http://www.duplicate-finder.com/photo.html
- Have been using this for a while when i've got heaps of duplicate photos. Does a great job looking for duplicates. Even chooses ones that are different sizes.


Other:

Clonespy FAQ suggests d'peg http://www.somewareonthe.net/

(yet to try this myself)


PS - veronic's suggestion seems to also do album artwork?
Any other good duplicate software (free) that people suggest?

I have used the duplicate file deleter that detects duplicate files and helps in removing duplicate files.
