So scrawl has stopped maintaining this plugin and it no longer works?
If so, I may consider creating a similar (working) GUI solution
Useful script
$tdif < 2 should be in_array($tdif, range(-1,1)) if you want the same behaviour as the original, where the difference allowed is either -1 second, 0 second (same duration), or +1 second.
For example, if:
Track A = 10 seconds
Track B = 9 seconds
Depending which track appears first in the xml file, it will either calculate as:
Track A - Track B = 1
or
Track B - Track A = -1
By the way, does it preserve the directory structure when moving duplicates?
If not, it'd be a cool idea to generate a bash script with 'rm' commands on the desktop instead.
Then you could still choose whether or not to run it (deleting the files), and edit it to choose which files to delete etc.
The benefit would be not having to remember which directories duplicates should be moved back to
I've just realized Banshee is the default music player in the upcoming natty, which also suffers from no detection of duplicate tracks (and no extension to fix it). So i'll divert interest in creating an extension to that from rhythmbox.
Banshee looks better than Rhythmbox in every way, except it doesn't automatically group an album by various artists into a single album entry (maybe i'll write an extension for this too? ).
