Thank you. Spot on.
How do you know all this. LOL. seriously asking.
Again thank you.

I have a few music videos that I am trying to find duplicates. For example, Doja Cat - Like That and Doja Cat - Like That (feat. Gucci Mane) are the same video and there may even be a Doja Cat - Like That (Clean) version.

I have no idea how to make a formula for this.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think maybe I am setting it up wrong?
I assumed the fallback was files I could move.
These are duplicates? Just getting slightly confused.
No problem rest enjoy your evening.

It went well Just the fall back put all videos in the folder. I was hoping it would nest them in the same folder as the original was in.

I am still here I will send my results when I get back home later tonight. I do apologize, unexpected situation happened. I just remote desktop into my pc and this worked perfectly. INSANE. I honestly am curious how do I learn these skills you have. It is honestly awesome for data management. Thank ...

Sorry had a serious personal matter happen. (Sigh) ok You mentioned that some voideos don't have a number in their name. What format do they use? Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines - Blurred Lines.mkv? Are they few and far apart or is it worth to do something similar as above? The ones that do not have a ...

From the awesome assistance here I put one and one together and did this... X:\music\ ext:mkv regex:^(.*)\.mkv$ sibling:"$1:.mp3" So this returns music videos in my music library which should not have been there. Perfect. Now my music video folder has just artist name as the folder and ins...

I wonder if there's a really long path name in there. Does the following search find any results: X:\music\ ext:mp3 path:len:>=260 34 items with a long path returned. The serach @void specified ( regex:^(.*)\.mp3$ sibling:$1:.flac ) will list all mp3 files that have a flac with the same name in tth...

The serach @void specified ( regex:^(.*)\.mp3$ sibling:$1:.flac ) will list all mp3 files that have a flac with the same name in tthe same folder. Those mp3's can therefor be deleted or moved elsewhere. Try the following for your mp3/flac files: Phase 1 Create a new folder X:\FALLBACK Later on, thi...

For a quick overview of how much work still has to be done, paste the following in the search bar: X:\MUSIC\ ext:mp3;flac regex:"(\d{2} - .+?)\.[^.]+$" addcolumn:regmatch1;audiobitrate dupe:regmatch1 (assuming all your music files use 2 digits to indicate the position, like Fine Young Can...

The following will search for mp3 files and capture the filename: regex:^(.*)\.mp3$ This will match: 01 - She Drives Me Crazy.mp3 and capture the text: 01 - She Drives Me Crazy The following will search for flac files with the captured text in the same location: sibling:$1:.flac $1: is replaced wit...

thank you so much for the reference link!
That is very nice of you. I had no idea what to "search" for help.

Please don't get upset
But what does the first does specifically?

File would be something like this Fine Young Cannibals - The Raw & The Cooked - 01 - She Drives Me Crazy.flac 01 - She Drives Me Crazy.mp3 ============================== All would be in folders in order Fine Young Cannibals | __ The Raw & The Cooked So with this information I'm hoping I can ...

Thank you for this. I should have been a bit more clear. No way would the files be the same. Flac and Mp3. That is for sure. almost 100% they would not be. I have a similar issue with Mp4 and MKV files (videos) The reason this happened is due to software I use and did not realize it was pulling both...
