checking for duplicates

fakie_flip · 09-16-2006, 01:10 PM

When I do "slocate mp3", I get a lot of output. I think I have duplicate mp3s that have been copied on my computer. How can I use that output to see if the same mp3 is on my computer twice without going through all of it trying to figure out myself? Thanks.

Try something like this:

Code:

find / -iname '*.mp3' -exec basename {} \; | sort | uniq -d

Hi,

Or, if slocate has to be used:

slocate .mp3 | xargs -i basename {} | sort | uniq -d
