Duplicate file finder that identifies highest bitrate of duplicate(s)?

[rubinken]

I have a large quantity of music files on my external SSD (Win 10), some of which are duplicates. What software do you recommend that will accurately identify the duplicates, and display the bitrate of the duplicate(s)?

My intent is to easily delete lower quality duplicate files, and keep the higher quality duplicate. Thanks in advance for your help.

I would look into Jrivers software. They have a very fast way of indexing the DB , searching and manipulating views, etc all in memory. Very versatile and fast. You can create views and sort on selected fields. There is also helpful forums on their site for custom type use.
Here is a link that might help get you started.

Not sure this is a good idea. Many times the lower bit rate files sound better....

I allow duplicates for that reason.. different bitrates and versions/mastering

Hmmmmm.
Maybe I need to rethink this...
