Dupin for Mac

User Reviews

• Works like a charm

  FreeheelaAugust 26, 2014

  Pros

  Fast, easy to use, flexible, very responsive Dev, has a "dry run" feature that allows the user to double-check before nuking something.

  Cons

  A bit spendy.

  Summary

  I wrote a nice big commentary here, but my script filter prevented a script necessary to get this to work. Basically, iTunes creates a lot of garbage files because it often loses libraries, especially ones that are stored on different drive, like a Network Attached Server in my case. That quickly creates enormous collections of duplicate and dead files. Fixing the mess takes many hours to straighten out, and I feel queasy when I think of doing it without the help of this great app, Dupin.

• Slow with large libraries/many dupes

  M CDecember 29, 2013

  Pros

  Found and removed my dupes, as well as dead tracks.

  Cons

  Took hours to run against an iTunes library of 26,000 items (half just dead tracks). Failed to re-create playlists as advertised.

  Summary

  Does the basics, but there are better and cheaper options out there.

• Terrible software if you have a large iTunes library

  Tim777777January 6, 2011

  Pros

  None that I could discover

  Cons

  Frequentluy freezes even when dealing with a relatively small number of songs (100-200); counter-intuitive; 'help' instructions incorrect; generally frustrating and fails to deliver.

  Summary

  Best avoided unless small library (but then why would you need this software?)

• Dupin fails to remove duplicate tracks

  jhorvatic_dotmacJanuary 8, 2010

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Dupin fails to remove duplicate tracks, is very very slow, seems to be confused when you click on purge and have de-selected the duplicate tracks you want to be removed. Doesn't do anything after saying purging for hours.

• Ideal

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Fast, accurate, flexible and easy to use. My library was about 30,000 songs with about 5,000 dupes. This software found and eliminated them immediately. The time it saved me was worth the cost of the app. I won't need if often, but I got my value out of it on the first use.

• Excellent app

  StevierepDecember 4, 2007

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have a very large iTunes library, in excess of 17,000 tracks, and inevitably there are going to be duplications. Dupin makes it ridiculously easy to isolate and remove such dupes, best £7.50 I've spent on software for a long time.
