I'm looking for a command to find similar file names in a directory. I have quite a large mp3 folder, and a fair number of duplicates. I have run a checker program that finds the same files by MD5 sums, but, I know there are still a whole lot more that aren't exactly the same, but are the same song. Any command or string of commands that will do this? preferably recursively, so I can put it in the r directory, and it will find all the similar in the sub directories too?

Something like http://sourceforge.net/projects/dupemusicmatch/
maybe? Took me 30 seconds to find :}


Cheers,

I found that too, but I can't seem to get it to work. It says it has dependancies that I can't seem to find.
python-numeric
python-pymad
python-pyvorbis

Those are the dependancies, and I think I found the numeric one, but not the other two. If I try to run it I get errors like this.
File "./DupeMusicMatch-GTK.py", line 14, in ?
import stat, sys, os, glob, shutil, string, Numeric, mad, fnmatch, ogg.vorbis
ImportError: No module named mad

Which I interpert to mean it is missing some of the dependancies?

Well i assume it is missing python-mad ....

You need to say what distro you are using as each of those dependencies, has it's own dependencies i believe (dependency hell!) but if you use a distro with a package manager its much easier

The following packages for Python-pymad

Debian - http://packages.debian.org/unstable/python/python-pymad (they're package site is down at the time of writing this)

Gentoo (atleast the link says it is, never used Gentoo) - http://ftp.tiscali.be/pub/gentoo-por...-python/pymad/

ubuntu (maybe same as deb) - http://packages.ubuntu.com/warty/python/python-pymad

The following packages for python-pyvorbis:

Debian (same place as above - http://packages.debian.org/unstable/...ython-pyvorbis

Gentoo - http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mir...thon/pyvorbis/

Alternatively there might be a package containing All the Libs/devels etc. that would work.

Good luck

Sorry, I use Fedora 4. I searched the yum repository, but I may not have the correct repositories to find the python-mad.
