Much of the functionality, including what actually makes this different/better than standard duplicate file finders, is NOT included in the free version. This would be ok, except for the fact that a) this is not made at all clear on the website, so you don't find out until downloading and installing it, and b) I'm not going to pay for a program that's been abandoned with no updates for years and, apparently, no support.

EPIC WIN for powerful computers: This software fully utilizes every core in my i9 CPU. Thanks for making file analysis efficient by using all of my computer's potential, not just a core or two. Too many programs don't take advantage of the cores you give them. Excellent software for power users!

Be careful. Support is not responding to anything.
Do NOT buy this software. The product does not work, properly. I paid $20. I sent numerous emails to their support and have received ZERO response. I finally sent an email, telling them I was disputing my payment, due to not receiving a working product and zero support assistance. My email came back as undeliverable, because their mailbox was too full to take anymore emails. Obviously, they have abandoned ship, but are still taking people's money!
Great tool to remove duplicate songs / musics via audio fingerprinting technology.
I tried ALL of the programms listed below, some returned no results, some up to 40, however only Similarity was able to find my !500! duplicates in my pretty large libary. It costs some money, but it is definitely worth it.
Comparing to any other duplicate audio detection solution, Similarity (v1.9.1) does it the best. Even the free version still beats the rest. This is a professional tool and unlike the rest, not a joke and if you really deal with a lot of audio files, you will want Similarity.
Although, the engine works well, the User Interface is still crappy currently, seems to be missing a lot. Luckily, the developer will accept user requests in Similarity's forum. It's a rather new project, so give it time to get things done.
There is no lifetime license. The updates come once per half a year, mainly user requests. Since there is a lot to improve, this seems to be intentional, a business strategy, to keep the money flowing, slowly and steadily and most definitely not going to give it all out immediately. Similarity's PayPro Global is rather stupid - they take your money and then after 48h they ask, if I allow this transaction, ask some more stupid questions and only then you get your license. Luckily you can use PayPal there too now.
