Took me several try on two computers before I got an uncorrupted download. . Once I got it to work, it was not very untuitive - I could not figure out what the heck it was supposed to be doing. probably my fault not Chipmunks, but before I got the hang of it, I got a notice that the Demo had timed out, and that I had to buy the real version to use it any longer. Uhmm, there was no warning/notice in the description that it was a demo, and not a fully functioning, albiet shareware, program,, far less a demo that would quit after ten minutes! Not only that, but the pay-us-or-else screen then wouldn't go away - it just sat there with that stupid twirly thing turning, and locked up my computer - couldn't make it go away or force a quit, so I had to do a full restart.
Very useful utility, excellent support - Version: 1.1.3, 9/6/2008 03:48PM PST

As the description says, it finds duplicates and gives you a logical way to remove them. For those of us with large libraries of samples and loops, it's a great way to keep your space needs down.
With sample libraries, it's a little tricky because an "instrument" will look in a specific place for the samples it needs. If more than one instrument need to access the same sample, it just takes more planning and organization to keep that alll straight. It might not be worth the space regained.
At some point, I had suggested that when removing duplicates, an alias to the remaining original could be an option. The developer explained why this might be a dodgy thing to implement. I like the basic way it works, once I got the hang of it. I have been going through various volumes and tidying up. I haven't had any problems with Chipmunk.
