Duplicate Audio Cleaner - The only app still available that removes duplicates directly from Apple Music and folders.

The only app that removes duplicates directly from Apple Music and folders. Simple. Fast. Straightforward.

Find and remove duplicate songs in Apple Music and any folder on your Mac. ‘Duplicate Audio Cleaner’ safely deletes exact matches without breaking remixes, edits, or DJ workflows - built for DJs, producers, podcasters, and anyone with a large audio library.

Try before you buy

You can download and use the app for free to see exactly how it works with your library. Upgrade only if you decide to unlock the full features.

• Enter “$0” at checkout for the free version.
• Use the buy button on the app to upgrade when you’re ready to unlock the full features.
• Donations welcome - this was built from scratch and took a long time to develop, but they are not needed to download and use the app. Note: The tip section (you’ll see at checkout) is something that the people that made Gimroad.com added by default and can’t be removed. I don’t come from a tipping culture :)

Why this matters

Big libraries get messy. DJs end up with loads of duplicate tracks taking up space. Producers drown in bounced stems and old mixes. Podcasters keep three versions of the same intro and ad bed without realising.

Duplicates waste disk space, clutter playlists, and slow everything down. Worse - if you use the wrong kind of cleaner, you risk deleting originals you actually need.

Duplicate Audio Cleaner fixes that. It’s fast, safe, and transparent - and it’s one of the only tools that cleans inside Apple Music itself.

Who it’s for

• DJs - keep folders lean, no longer have 300 copies of Mambo No.5, free up SSD space.
• Producers - clear extra bounces, stems, and ref mixes so projects stay sharp and backups shrink.
• Podcasters - ditch duplicate stings, ad beds, and mixdowns so sessions stay clean.
• Audio Archivers - keep collections tidy with exact-match cleaning that never risks wiping a unique recording.
• Collectors & Enthusiasts - whether it’s rare vinyl rips, live bootlegs, or massive FLAC folders, make sure every file in your library is unique.

This isn’t a generic “find duplicate files” app. It’s built specifically for audio libraries and audiophiles.

Why it’s better than the rest

Most duplicate apps are generic. They try to guess with filenames or tags, which leads to false positives - a nightmare for DJs, producers, or podcasters who can’t risk losing originals.

Duplicate Audio Cleaner doesn’t guess. It only removes byte-for-byte duplicates, with full visibility.

• Apple Music cleanup: works directly with the Apple Music app on Mac’s - this is super rare among duplicate cleaners and they're way more expensive too!
• Exact-match only: bulletproof accuracy.
• Transparent: every file, every path, every log shown. No “trust me bro” magic.
• Safe: duplicates go to Trash, never hard-deleted.
• Fast: can scan a 500GB hard drive in under a minute. See the demo video below.
• Local: everything happens on your Mac - nothing uploaded, no data shared to the cloud, it's all local.
• Real demo: free mode shows the full process (results, progress, logs) before you pay.

Why Duplicate Songs Happen on Mac & Apple Music

Apple Music users often discover thousands of duplicate songs after syncing, importing, or using iCloud. Duplicates waste space, clutter playlists, and can break DJ workflows. The built-in “Show Duplicates” option is slow and unreliable, especially when you want to keep remixes, edits, or higher-quality versions.

Why Other Duplicate Cleaners Don’t Work for DJs & Producers

Most third-party duplicate removers are designed for casual listeners. They’re either too expensive, too complicated, or don’t work properly with Apple Music. Many simply delete the file but leave broken entries in your library - which means apps like Serato still show the track but won’t load it. DJs, podcasters, and producers can’t afford that.

A Cleaner Built for Audio Pros

Duplicate Audio Cleaner was designed to solve this exact problem. It targets exact duplicate audio files only - so you’ll never lose a remix, an edit, or a different file format. It also cleans up Apple Music library entries, so no more exclamation marks or broken tracks.

Who It’s For

• DJs & Producers - keep remixes, edits, and high-quality versions intact while removing true duplicates.
• Podcasters & Radio Producers - save time by cutting down on repeated takes or duplicate imports.
• Audio Archivists - manage large collections safely without risking accidental deletions.
• Anyone with a large music library - reclaim storage and keep your Mac organised.

Why I Built It

My own MacBook library had grown to nearly 460 GB, leaving me with just 10 GB free. I wasn’t going to buy a new MacBook just for storage, and I didn’t want to rely on external drives. So I built “Duplicate Audio Cleaner” to fix the problem quickly, safely, and reliably.
