Preferably on ubuntu as most free windows programs look suspicious to me :)

I keep meaning to write one in Perl Sam. If I ever get around to it I'll send you a copy if you have Perl loaded. Perl scripts should run on both Windows and Linux machines and there are quiite a few mp3 perl modules (http://search.cpan.org/search?query=mp3&mode=all) that should prove useful.

I know there's a script for iTunes on the Mac that can do it, but you're neither using a Mac or iTunes. :D

In iTunes go to Menu>File>Show Duplicates

This can be very useful its on the Mac iTunes version and I'm sure its's the same in Windows.
