DUPLICATES WITH AN ADVANCED
DUPES FINDER
MediaMonkey’s built-in duplicate finder
comes with its own share of restrictions. It
can’t find dupes beyond the same title
and audio signature criteria. The need for
a third-party duplicate finder becomes
more imperative to recover storage space
lost to duplicate content and put it to
efficient use.
7. Sorcim’s Clone Files Checker enables
searching for identical copies by
various music tags including Title, Artist,
Album, Track, Duration, Bitrate and File
Content. Also, there are file size filters
which allow users to exclude data that
is above or below the specified criteria
in it’s size. For example: Find duplicates
between 10KB to 2MB in size.
8. CUSTOMIZABLE SCAN
As a music lover, your files could be
scattered across the entire hard disk,
making it difficult to locate and compare
manually. A dupes cleaner will thoroughly
and efficiently check each folder,
subfolder and come up with a result. You
can exclude individual folders from the
scan.
9. AUTOMATIC BACKUP
Clone Files Checker takes good care of
all deleted duplicates as they are
automatically backed up before the
deletion initializes. This is helpful as if you
wish to restore them later onwards, you
should simply go to the History tab in the
main user interface, select a scan on the
left and click Restore. You can restore
individual files or the entire trove of files
from a particular scan, depending on your
needs.

occupied space, duplicate files
detected in each scan in the History tab.
