Duplicate MP3 Finder
The new 2.0.0.1 major release of Audio Dedupe is packed with plenty of new features.
Two new file formats are now added to the supported file formats:
APE – Monkey’s Audio
Monkey’s Audio is a file format for audio data compression. Being a lossless format, Monkey’s Audio does not discard data during the process of encoding, unlike lossy compression methods such as AAC, MP3, Vorbis and Musepack.
Data file compression is employed in order to reduce bandwidth, file transfer time, and/or storage requirements. A digital recording (such as a CD) encoded to the Monkey’s Audio format can be decompressed into an identical copy of the original audio data. As with the FLAC and Apple Lossless format, files encoded to Monkey’s Audio are typically reduced to about half of the original size,[1] with data transfer rates and bandwidth requirements being reduced accordingly.
TTA – True Audio
True Audio (abbreviated TTA) is a free, real-time lossless audio codec, based on adaptive prognostic filters. Also, .tta is the generic extension to filenames of audio files created by True Audio codec.
TTA performs lossless compression on multichannel 8, 16 and 24 bit data of uncompressed wav input files. The compression ratio of TTA depends on the type of music file being compressed, but after compression the size of output file will generally range between 30% – 70% of the original. TTA format supports both of ID3 v1 and ID3 v2 information tags. APEv2 tags support has been added recently.
Audio Dedupe – What’s New?
Version 2.0.0.1:
- Added Monkey’s Audio APE files support.
- Added True Audio TTA files support.
- Added filter files and folders functionality, so you can exclude files or folders from scanning.
- Added Pause/Resume functionality.
- Added new options tab to select which columns you want to be shown in the results grid.
- Added new option to set the cache folder location.
- Added new option “Remove from list groups containing single file after delete/move”.
- Added new option “Files are not duplicates if their play time differ more than xxx sec.”.
- Added volume slider in the preview window.
- Fixed some bugs when moving files.
- Other small bug fixes and GUI improvements.

Duplicate Image Finder
Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 3.8.0.1 is released packed with new features and improvements. The new HDPhoto file format (also known as JPEG XR and Windows Media Photo ) is now supported. A better browse for folder dialog lets you choose several folders simultaneously. There is a new option that can be enabled and will remove the groups that contain only one file after manual delete/move operation from the list. The user checked files can now be displayed using bold formatted font style. A new tab in the options determines which columns should be visible in the results grid. A warning message is now displayed if you try to uncheck all images in a selection where you had manually checked items. Please check the “What’s New” section below for a complete list of the new features and fixes.
Below is a description of the HDPhoto file format:
HD Photo is a new file format for continuous-tone still images that surpasses the limitations of existing image formats. HD Photo supports a wide range of features including:
• Multiple color formats for display or print
• Fixed or floating point high dynamic range image encoding
• Lossless or high quality lossy compression
• Extremely efficient decoding for multiple resolutions and sub-regions
• Minimal overhead for format conversion or transformations during decode
HD Photo is the new name for Windows Media Photo. Both names refer to the exact same file format. The Windows Media Photo name is still used to describe the implementation of HD Photo in Microsoft Windows products.
HD Photo is used in XML Paper Specification (XPS) to deliver a lightweight, high performance algorithm with a small memory footprint that enables practical, in-device encoding and decoding. It delivers compression quality comparable with JPEG-2000 and more than twice the quality of JPEG.
Most technologies in the JPEG XR Standard are based on the HD Photo file format. The JPEG XR Standard is also known as the ISO/IEC Standard 29199-2 and as the ITU-T Recommendation T.832.
What’s New?
Version 3.8.0.1:
- Added HDPhoto files support (*.hdp; *.wdp; *.jxr) (Only in Pro and Corporate version)
- You can now add multiple folders at once using the enhanced Browse for Folder dialog.
- Added new option “Remove from list groups containing single file after delete/move”.
- Added new option “Show user checked files in bold font”.
- Added new options tab to select which columns you want to be shown in the results grid.
- Added warnings when unchecking a selection of images and there are user checked images.
- Fixed Disable Folder Self-scan in Hash/Filesize/EXIF modes.
- Fixed some bugs when moving files.
- Other small bug fixes and GUI improvements.

The new grid popup menu item Properties shows windows explorer file properties window.

The popup menu item “Disable self-Scan For This Folder” is now available also in the Pro along with the Corporate one. The “100% Identical Files” scan method is now a lot faster which is also true for the Check Selected/Invert Selection/Uncheck All when there are a lot of files in the duplicates list . There are now two separate columns for File Name and Folder which allows easier navigation and sorting.
There are also a lot of fixes. Some of them are the fixed logging under Windows Vista/7, fixed auto-check when there are folders disabled for auto-check.
