Wow what great responses.
I got a perl script a one line shell script and using qsort (new to me)
and a few apps.
Even more than I even hoped for.
Thanks
I will try them out and see which glove fits the best tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who supplied a solution

Hi!
I have been thinking about transfering the concept of a
cursor from text editing to MIDI editing.
Since this not specific to any existing sequencer I like
to present my concept here, in hope of feedback and
maybe some project picking it up.
http://wrstud.urz.uni-wuppertal.de/~ka0394/forum/04-10-25_cursor.png
The red, turned H is the cursor. The row (note) it's on
is always marked/highlighted.
The cursor can be moved with cursor keys or placed by
left clicking (just like a text cursor).
Selection of events happens by rubberbanding per mouse
or by using shift + cursor keys.
New notes can be inserted at the cursor location
by just hitting enter, using a default value or the
grid resolution for the length when nothing was
selected. Or filling the selected area with the new
note (empyt space is treated like whitespace in a
text).
Selected events can be moved with the cursor keys
by holding down Ctrl.
There could be auto-selection of the closest event
when nothing else was selected.

Greetings:
Alex Prokoudine sent this link to some interesting photos and info
concerning Russian (pre- and post-Soviet) synths:

Thanks Alex !
Best,

There is a new release of my plugin collection.
Bugfixes: (I've lost the attributions, appologies to the fixers!)
reverse delay - denormal fix
flanger - stability problem
multiband EQ - problem running multiple instances in one host
Sorry, I didn't manage to get through the TODO list.
New plugins:
artifical latency plugin - mainly useful for testing
crossfader - not really tested, may work
There is a new build system (libtool based) that should make it easier to
port to other platforms, but may cause problems.
Enjoy,
Steve

Alternatively to what I wrote a little earlier, a search on freshmeat for
"mp3 find duplicate" gave these two tools:
mp3dup: http://mp3dup.xmms.org/
fdmf: http://www.w140.com/audio/
Never tried these, but maybe that helps you..

Short version:
1) Sort them (by binary content.)
2) Delete duplicates.
3) ...
4) Profit! :)
I would probably only keep the path to the mp3 in the sorted structure,
and then open (and close) them for comparison as needed.
'man qsort' is your friend.
Step one:
The compare() function, that you supply to qsort, should open two files
and compare for equality until EOF (in which case they are equal) or
return when and unequalty is found.
The array you are sorting holds the paths to all of your candidate mp3s,
which you have found by recursively traversing your partition(s)
Step two:
All the paths to the mp3s are sorted so that paths with equal content
are next to each other. Go thru them once, using the same comparison
function as before. For each equal pair delete the lowest ordered file.
For each unequal pair move the lowest ordered file to a place where you
would like to keep your mp3 collection.

My opinions: For me looks like this will be based on same chip as
Audigy 2 Value - this is not emu10k2 - this is new chip (maybe emu10k2
based, but new). If someone buy Audigy 2 ZS Notebook then it can
confirm this (if this is true or not). Why I think so, because
creative don't make extra chip for only one card.
Only change is reverse engineering windows drivers. I think better is
invest time to something other as this.

HI all,
I have set of mp3's that I have been working with over the last few
years. They have been backed up, renamed moved to different directories.
most of them are not tagged.
after a few crashes/loss of a hard disk etc. I am now trying to restore
my work.
I have a full partition with them in it but it is obvious most of them
are there multiple times with different non discriptive names..ouch:(
Is there a way I can searh the mp3 to find which are the same/different
using the actual mp3 binary data??
any way I can avoid listening to hundreds of files would be most
appreciated.
any suggestions?
Thanks
Aaron
This sound card is supposed to be pretty good, and portable. It just
came out. What are my chances of getting it to work under Linux?
Audigy 2 ZS Notebook PCMCIA card.
Thanks.

as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
SONO - MAKES A PRESENTABLE SCORE FROM YOUR ELECTROACOUSTIC PIECE
----------------------------------------------------------------
This little program takes a soundfile of any length and writes a
Postscript file with a 'score', including sonogram and oscillogram. This
can be printed directly on your laser. Sono was written for SGI computers.
