Hello All,
I have a couple of folders that between all of them have about 60GB worth of Music. Anyway, there is this one folder that is super organized, it has everything organized by name in folders. And then I have about 5 other folders. I want to merge these all into one, but delete any duplicates. I am trying to use Meld, and CLI with diff, but that only check the top level.
For example I have file x.mp3 in an unorganized folder. I also have x.mp3 in the organized folder but it is in Oraganized/Album/...../x.mp3. Is there any way to check for this type of situation? Over and over again?

A quick search for "find duplicate files" turns up loads of pages. I haven't used it, but several of those hits refer to "fdupes" which seems to be able to remove duplicates. It's in [community], so you can grab it with "pacman -S fdupes".
If that can't do what you want, try some of the other solutions found by the previous search.

D'oh, I didnt even think of it that way. I will have to give that a try, I will post back if it worked.
Thanks Xyne!
P.S. You rock!
EDIT: yeah that worked like a charm. Only shaved about a Gig, but at least now I know I dont have any copies. Thanks again!
