    I recommend Directory Report for finding duplicate files.
    It is very professional – far from “primitive”

    I have checked several duplicate finder programs, and the only one that works for me is easy duplicate finder (www.easyduplicatefinder.com) It found the most duplicates and surprisingly, also was the easiest to use. You don’t often find a utility that is both easiest to use, and the best for the job. It has this Music tag mode that let me search my music library for songs by metatag you know that data that media players use to tell you song title and artist etc. I was surprised at how many copies of the same songs I had. In the end, I saved a ton of space, and reorganized my music.
