- Might I suggest comparing time also to find duplicates.
- Also beats per minute.
- The example display looks complex.

I do all my duplicate deletions manually by sorting by time then listening to the music, consider the album art, size and bit rate.

An algorithm to approximate "listening to the music" would sure be nice to add to the above settings I mentioned.

Superb Utility - Wooden Brain

Thanks for the feedback. Song length (duration) is already considered and there is a duration fudge room slider. Also there are settings for reserved words that are designed to specify words in song / album names that would not be considered duplicates. (Like "live" etc). iDupe is in fact designed to make decisions based on listening. Thus, better quality is always preferred all else equal. As you say you can make the final decision, so it is worth experimenting with different settings on a few tracks to see how changes in settings gets you closer to your ideal calls.
