			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Duplicate files can take up valuable storage space on computer systems. They are created accidentally most of the time. Some possible scenarios include date backups but also the download of file packages that contain hundreds or even thousands of files. Most duplicate files are media related, mainly images, videos and music. It can be quite cumbersome and time consuming to check the files on a computer system for duplicates. This is especially true when large collections of files are stored on the hard drives and storage devices.</p>
<p><span id="more-12439"></span>Duplicate file finders like <a href="http://www.digitalvolcano.co.uk/dupe.html">Duplicate Cleaner</a> aid the user in finding duplicate files. The software program has been designed to scan a computer system thoroughly for duplicate files. It provides access to a file search but also to a specialized music search in its interface. The music search will scan mp3, wma, ogg, flac and ape files on the computer system and compare artists, titles and albums in the meta tags plus the usual file size and file name. Files on the other hand can be checked for various parameters including crc, name, file size and date.</p>

<p>Specific folders and partitions can be added to the scan which will create three listings in the end. One will display the duplicate files found in the selected folders, another will display all zero byte files and the last will display all files that have been scanned by the program.</p>
<p>A selection assistant is provided to make the selection of duplicate files easier. The options offered are quite extensive. It is possible to keep audio files with the highest bitrate, length or sample rate. Other filters include selection by date and time, file size, group, pattern in name or path and those that are not located in a master path.</p>

<p>Scan time will vary depending on the parameters of the scan, the number of folders and files and the speed of the drives. Duplicate Cleaner is a sophisticated computer software program to find duplicates on a computer system.</p>
