If this dupe checker worked well enough, you could even use it as framework to have amarok consider these dupes as one song as far as the autoscore was concerned.<br>You also might want to take into consideration songs that are a part of a mix-cd and stand alone versions, same song, but the audio data will differ at the starts and ends of the song as it is mixed into the previous and next track, so symlinking wouldn't be a good solution for this.
<br>Good luck with the idea though! <br><br>Cheers, Will.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/9/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Kalle Last</b> <<a href="mailto:kalle.last@gmail.com">kalle.last@gmail.com</a>> wrote:
