This free simple program finds duplicates for you, fast, and lets you delete them. It doesn't just search for files names. It also compares file sizes, does CRC checks, and even looks at ID3 tags to help track down duplicates.

Strengths: The interface is very appealing and easy on the eye. Simple and easy to work out what does what.
Weaknesses: The algorithms for advanced searching seems to be really poor. I tried searching with the advanced settings first of all which brought loads of supposedly duplicate files back. none of them were actually duplicate and most had different names AND filesizes which left me wondering what the advanced search really does! Then I tried the filesize search which, of course, brought back loads of results - the ones that were in the previous results that had the same filesize, but they were all totally different titles etc so again, pointless. the same was achieved when trying the filename search. Lots of innocuous results. the only 'true' results were obtained with the CRC match search which actually found the two duplicate files I thought I had in there!
Overall Evaluation: I am uninstalling this software now as it just doesn't do the job as I expected and I would not recommend it.

Strengths: Does exactly what it is supposed to - locates and flags duplicate music files for removal in one fell swoop.
Weaknesses: A little buggy. Recycle bin froze up on me a cuple of times, but I was still able to locate and remove nearly 5gb of duplciate files in under 10 minutes.
Overall Evaluation: I thought it was a very nice product, although as noted above, a little buggy. I was very happy with the spped at which it located the duplicate files, and the ability to "check all" for removal. Give it a try.

Strengths: None!!!
Weaknesses: Every time the program runs it stops responding and sends a error report. It finds dups, but can't delete them
Overall Evaluation: Don't waste your time. It's much easier to do it manually that with this junk.
