In 10 years, I have yet to find a solution.
Suppose I have similar file names in multiple folders on my disk (e.g. similarity will be artist, title and remix artist")
I want to find from the first folder (worse bitrate) in other folders where there are better bitrates)
All they have in common is the title, artist and artist 2, and other characters may differ, other spaces, folders, other numbers, whatever.
I have tried all the best tools there are and it never works.
Even comparing one file can take, for example, manually copying the name and pasting 10-20 seconds, but what if I try to compare 60 files. It will take a long time each time and I lose precious time.
Always minimum one character in the file name disqualifies the similarity, so it never works.
Playing around with regex strings can be successful, but the fun will never end, as I will roll it from time to time the same copy paste/copy paste/write/paste/copy and again and again and again. I'm sick of it!
