If you have a large music collection containing a lot of duplicate files, then finding them and getting rid of them can take a lot of time. Similarity is a free program that helps you to find and remove similar and duplicate music files with the same or similar sound content and music tags. The good thing about the program is that it also checks the similarity of a sound part and not just music tags or file content.

You can adjust the sensitivity of searching criteria to find exact or similar files so it is possible to identify similarly titles with smaller differences. The program also analyzes the artist, title, album information from the music tags contained in the audio files and compare these with the appropriate entries in other files. The duplicate files can be deleted or browsed. You can also sort the list of duplicate files and export it as a playlist to check and verify them. Some of its features are
