script for deleting mp3 duplicates

[paultv]

Hi

purchased the full version

thanks, great software better than the others available

i have over 2 million plus mp3 and this works great on a very powerful pc with loads of memory breaking them into groups first however i am not happy with any of the auto mark scripts and not clever enough to make one of my own

i love the rating feature and once this has completed i have tried all the auto marks but am not happy with any. (auto mark 3 seems the best)

it seems to always keep the 320kbps mp3 which in theory is great however some of the duplicates that are 192kbps or higher often have 100% rating and sound much better than the 320kbps version which may only have a rating of 79.5?

i know its difficult to please everyone's needs however does anyone have any scripts that i could try or is it possible to pay someone to do a script to my specification

Many Thanks Paul

If you want just forbid marking files with bitrate 320 and above, you can use this automarkin script (you may want change priority too, it's very easy see if):

Code: [Select]

/*

Version: 1.0
Description:
Simple auto-mark dialog analog
For speedup before launch analyze all files ("Analyze all" context menu)
*/

// unmark all files
results.audio.unmark();

// simple mark by lower bitrate
var dups = results.audio.dups;
for (var idx = 0; idx < dups.length; ++idx) {
let item1 = dups[idx].item1;
let item2 = dups[idx].item2;
        // skip counter-pair (1-2 and 2-1), process pair only once
        if (item1.path > item2.path) continue;
// don't allow mark files with bitrate > 320
mark1 = item1.analysis.bitrate > 320000 ? false : true;
mark2 = item2.analysis.bitrate > 320000 ? false : true;
// first priority
if (item1.analysis.rating > item2.analysis.rating)
{ item2.marked = mark2; continue; }
if (item1.analysis.rating < item2.analysis.rating)
{ item1.marked = mark1; continue; }
// second priority
if (item1.analysis.duration > item2.analysis.duration)
{ item2.marked = mark2; continue; }
if (item1.analysis.duration < item2.analysis.duration)
{ item1.marked = mark1; continue; }
// 3rd priority
if (item1.analysis.maxFreq > item2.analysis.maxFreq)
{ item2.marked = mark2; continue; }
if (item1.analysis.maxFreq < item2.analysis.maxFreq)
{ item1.marked = mark1; continue; }
// 4th priority
if (item1.analysis.clicks > item2.analysis.clicks)
{ item2.marked = mark2; continue; }
if (item1.analysis.clicks < item2.analysis.clicks)
{ item1.marked = mark1; continue; }
// 5th priority
if (item1.analysis.clips > item2.analysis.clips)
{ item2.marked = mark2; continue; }
if (item1.analysis.clips < item2.analysis.clips)
{ item1.marked = mark1; continue; }
}

Data rate alone unfortunately is not always a good quality criterion. Sometimes higher bit rate files (e.g. 320) are just recompressed versions of lower bit rate files (e.g. 128). Their quality of course can't get better, only their size increases.
This may be detected by the rating and audible perception.
