Mp3 Filter Mp3 filter is a nifty utility that finds your dupe files by comparing thier name. The basic concept is to compare the words together and check how many words match (in %).

Example: "Limp Bizkit - My Generation.mp3" and "05 - My Generation (Limp Bizkit).mp3". To determine if these 2 files match, Mp3 Filter will count the number of total words (9), and see that 8 words (Limp,Bizkit,My,Generation) matches on the 9 words. That makes 88.8%. This means that if you did set you minimum % at 88% or lower, Mp3 Filter will flag these files as duplicates, and wait for your command to terminate, crush, slice-and-dice, unleash-hell-on. annilate, or simply poke-with-godly-might one of these files.

This was *ONE* duplicate scan type. There are several types of duplicate scan method. Read the help file for more information!

• Incredibly fast comparing engine based on word matching %. What should take the time of 25 000 000 of comparison (5000 files compared together) takes about 4 seconds on an athlon 900.
• Extremely customizable comparing session with possibilities to:
  • Set the minimum number of words required in the filename to include the file into the scan.
  • Exclude files with bracket to avoid deleteing [REMIX] like files.
  • Changing the file priority criteria. Thus, you can say: When I find 2 similar files, I want to keep the Mp3 over the WMA, and if the 2 files are of the same type, keep the highest bitrate.
  • Excluding specific directories from the scan
  • Priorize files from specific directories in comparison. Ex: Files in directory "Full Albums" have priority over files in "Downloads"
  Compares you files with all your burned CDs at once with a mp3 list system. This list system also allow to:
  • Browse all your cd without actually having them in the drive.
  • Browsing all your friend's CDs with that same system and select song you wish him to give you
  • Allow that friend to look at your selection and automatically copy files you selected to a specified directory, by simply click on a single button, relax, and insert the right cd when Mp3 Filter prompts him.
  Builds a banlist and scan your drives to exterminate your unwanted files (Like britney spears)
• Mass rename your files using ID3 tag
• Has a bunch of other features that would make the page too long to load if all listed :)
