I'm just short of 30,000 tracks now in AAC or MP3. A little less than half of that is duplicated in lossless.

At the rate I listen to music, it would take me a year to listen to my entire library. I've listened to 6100 unique tracks in the last 2 months (that's tracks that have been played at least once). Other than 70 of the 105 tracks I loaded yesterday, I've heard every one of the tracks at least once, the vast majority many more times. I've been buying CDs since '86, even though I didn't own a CD player until '87, so I've had a lot of time to accumulate CDs.

iTunes identifies tracks with the same artist and track name as dups so it identifies some that aren't dups and it misses some that are. Most of the misses I get are albums I've accidentally ripped twice with different ripping tools, so different tags. I especially get it a lot with classical music.
I get a lot of false hits on tracks that are on compilations and live albums

How about iTunes? Does it find *all* duplicates? I've switched to JRiver MediaJukebox anyway and it doesn't have a find duplicate option. I prefer it because it is less buggy and has very quck access to the EQ and a few other DSPs. |
