Tried a few of these things. The problem was that a lot of the songs had been ripped from CD's using different software. So, some would be called things like track01.mp3 with a duplicate with a completely different file name. These could also have different byte lengths and durations. Then there are the ones that come from the original recording, the live version and/or the compilation album - which often differ a bit in all the parameters.
