Delete Duplicates
Song is a duplicate if
Song is a duplicate if allows you to decide how Jaikoz find duplicates. You can detect duplicates based on MB Id, Acoustid, Release Id or combinations of. It is important to understand the options available when you use Jaikoz to delete duplicates.
It has the same MB Id as another song
The song is a duplicate if it has the same MB Recording Id, be careful using this option because if you categorise your music by albums this could delete a song from one album if you have the same song on multiple albums.
It has the same MB Id, Album Id and Acoustid as another song
Songs are only deleted if you have the same recording matched to the same album in duplicate, and they are acoustically the same because they have the same Acoustid. Beware that this option does not protect against the rare case when an album is released with the same identical recording on it more than once. Nor will it find duplicates for songs that do not have an Acoustid.
It has the same Acoustid as another song
This option ignore release groupings and find matches purely sonically based on the same Acoustid id.
It has the same MB Id and Album Id as another song
This is the default, songs are only deleted if you have the same recording matched to the same album in duplicate. Beware that this option does not protect against the rare case when an album is released with the same identical recording on it more than once.
It has the same MB Id and Acoustid as another song
The song is a duplicate if it has the same MB Recording Id and matching Acoustid. Matching on both criteria makes it very sure to be the same. Be careful using this option because if you categorise your music by albums this could delete a song from one album if you have the same song on multiple albums.
When you have duplicate songs
The When you have duplicate songs option defines what to do once duplicates have been found. They can either be deleted , moved to a special Duplicates folder or linked to the duplicate file that is not being deleted. If you want them to be moved you must specify a Duplicates Folder . If you want to link them use the Alias should be named so that option to specify if they should keep their name, be renamed to match the file they link to, or have a combination of both names.
Delete from iTunes if moving duplicates
Delete from iTunes if moving duplicates searches for these songs in iTunes and removes them from the iTunes library as well.
