How to...

Make a quick mp3 duplicate scan

Ok, I just downloaded Mp3 Filter, now I just want to scan my computer quickly! What must I do?

The quickest way to find duplicates in your collection is probably to run the "quick_scan" profile bundled with Mp3 Filter:

  • Select the "quick_scan" profile.
  • Click on Run Profile.
  • A directory selection window will pop. Select the directory containing your media files.
  • Click OK.
  • Wait for Mp3 Filter to be finished scanning your directory and enjoy the funny blue runner.
  • The scan results window will pop. It will display the duplicates Mp3 Filter found.
  • Carefully verify that each file flagged as dupe if effectively a dupe.
  • Check files you effectively consider as dupe.
  • Click on the "Delete" button.
  • Confirm your desire to annihilate (recycle in fact) checked files.
  • Click on "Close Window".
  • Enjoy a cleaner music collection.
