Quick-n-Dirty duplicate mp3 finder script

René “Nepomusemo” Mayorga shared with me the following script to find out duplicate mp3 files in a specific directory:

find /media/music/ -not -empty -type f -printf “%s\n”  | sort -rn  | uniq -d  | xargs -I{} -n1 find /media/music/ -type f -size {}c -print0  | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 –all-repeated=separate

This script might be used to find duplicate files, though

    Cool one-liner! Thanks!

    I just cleaned up a bunch of dupes.

    I’ve updated the script, the second find must have the path where we are looking for duplicate files.
