specific software advice needed [solved]

#1 Post by Marin85 » Thu Oct 02, 2008 3:29 pm

Hi,
I have a 110+ GB music collection on my hard drive and I ran into the problem that I have same songs multiple times in different folders with slightly different names (for instance the file name includes the album or similar). And since I´m almost out of space I would like to ask of there is some free (or non-free but not expensive) piece of software that can automatically localize such redundant files in subfolders and subsubfolders of a folder (without having to browse to each subfolder if possible).
I also have quite big library of e-Books, scanned books, articles (mostly .djvu, .pdf, .ps and .dvi formats) and have found that some of them are indeed redundant. Here I have the same problem that they are all placed in folders and subfolders and subsubfolders.... That´s why I don´t like the idea to do this myself. Moreover, some of them have really long names (particularly when these are written in German :P).
So, if anyone is aware of such piece of software that can make my life a tinny bit easier, she or he is welcome to post it here :) Thanks in advance!

Marin

EDIT: I also need a small (free, if possible) reliable tool to convert djvu and djv files into .pdf.

Thanks for the links, Ray! The first two seem to be exactly what I´m looking for :) As for converting djvu to pdf I have just realized that I can use Adobe pdf printer (that goes along with my Adobe Acrobat pro) from withing windjview (which is my default tool for previewing and viewing djvu and djv files) :D

Thanks again for your effort!
