i-DeClone can now "hear" your music and discover duplicate songs regardless of their names, wrong/missing tags and what have you. It can see through all these kinds of "fake" differences of the same song:
* different bitrates
* different formats (MP3/FLAC...)
* stereo/mono channels
* starting silence
* gain differences (loudness)
To try out this mode, choose MUSIC as the type to scan, tick "find similar files", and in the Advanced property page tick "compare file content". If you want to find similar music regardless of extension (WAV/WMA/etc), tick off "Files must have the same extension"
Scanning musical content is rather slow but very robust. I only saw a few "false positive" detections in this mode, at 90% similarity level. The audio signature is based on the starting 15-20 seconds of each track, so songs that are similar only at the beginning may be wrongly flagged as duplicate.
