Duplicate Media Finder

In the eventuality that you are downloading lots of files from the internet on a daily basis, then there is a good chance that you grabbed the same video, track or media file multiple times. If you prefer your media in top quality formats, then the duplicates can take up a considerable part of your hard drive.
Duplicate Media Finder is a lightweight piece of software that allows you to find the identical files you knowingly or unknowingly store in various folders on your local and network drives.

Find duplicates based on name, extension, date or size

The application comes with an intuitive interface that consists of three main tabs, namely Search, Results and Configuration. You will be happy to learn that the app includes an advanced search function that permits you to specify the types of files you are looking for, namely images, videos or tracks.
At the same time, you can set the level of sensitivity for the query, a higher level allowing the app to perform a deeper search of your drives. You can specify if the contents of the file need to be identical or just similar and configure the file property criteria based on name, extension, date and size.

Allows you to decide what to do with the identical files

The query can be performed in a single directory that you set as default for downloads or you can include the hidden and zero-length files. In case you need to deal with multiple dupes for the same file, then you can decide whether you want to delete them all or keep one that as the best quality, earliest date, smallest size or shortest duration for instance.
As you would expect for applications in this category, the tool does not automatically delete the duplicates but rather lets you decide what to do with them. Therefore, you can check out the properties, delete, rename or open the app from the context menu before you figure out what do to next.
