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 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
