Similarity is a highly efficient, full featured yet easy-to-use program to organize your music collection and keep your image files ordered. Its basic option is to search for duplicate files and delete them.

The program provides the so-called "acoustic fingerprint" comparison technology, in other words, it scans not only a file's title, size, tags, etc. for similarity, but contents as well. Moreover, it can search for duplicates among numerous audio file formats supported MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC, M4A, FLAC, APE(Monkey Audio), WV(WavePack), MPC(MusePack), WMA and many others. This means, if you have one and the same audio file in the MP3 and, for example, WMA formats, Similarity will detect them as duplicated.

Also, the software offers a built-in tag editor for MP3 and WMA audio files, File Name and Tag Converter. Furthermore, the app can analyze and calculate the quality score (bit rate, frequency, amplitude, etc.) of your files to keep only high-quality audio in your collection. More than that, this new version will satisfy experienced users with the ability to perform various desired features via scripting in JavaScript.

To conclude, I should say that Similarity is a must-have for such music addicts as I am. It's put my myriad audio files in order and that made me happy.

Similarity is programmed and supported by GAR, a Russian company so that inquiries made in the U.S. may take a while to get a response. The website offers a 64 bit version, which is the one I downloaded, but appears not to make full use of 64 bit addressing in its use of memory, at least, not in a way that would improve performance. In fact, while they claim the paid version is faster, I am running it against a drive with just over 58000 music files and while the FREE version could do this in four hours, the PAID version has been running for 15 hours, already and, though 70% done, tells me it need another 15 hours to complete. Audio Comparer might have been a better choice.
