If you’re regularly storing your music files onto a memory stick, you might have faced the problem of duplication at some point of time. When your memory stick accumulates a lot of duplicates, it may become full. The same tracks may start repeating, the same songs might start appearing inside the albums. Overall, it can degrade your experience.
Clone Files Checker can help you remove all the duplicate music from your memory stick. It performs thorough scans to detect and delete every single duplicate music file.

Advantages of Memory Sticks
Portability
Memory sticks offer an incredible advantage. They are portable devices. Memory sticks make it easy to store and access your data from any device. You can carry them inside your pockets, or bags while traveling. They offer you easy accessibility to hundreds of thousands of files that you’ve stored. They can also be connected to other devices at your home, or office to share files instantly.
Recycling & re-use
Unlike CD-ROMs, you can delete data from memory sticks when you don’t need it. This way, you can get rid of obsolete data and reclaim your storage to store new files.
Bootable mediums
You can also make memory sticks bootable. They will boot up your operating system (such as a live version of your favorite Linux distro) or an installer for your operating system (such as Microsoft Windows). They can be a lifesaver if your computer doesn’t boot up and you’re unable to access your important data.
Durability
Another benefit of choosing memory sticks over external hard disks is their durability. Even if you accidentally drop them from a safe distance, they might still work (at least, in most cases) and your precious data may still be intact. But of course, we don’t recommend doing any such act just to test the memory stick’s durability!
Plug & play
You don’t need special driver software to use memory ticks (unless of course, your operating system version is too obsolete and unsupported by your memory stick manufacturer). Just plug them into your PC and they will be ready within a few seconds.
Rebranding
If you’re a business, you can have your brand logo and tagline printed on their surface and sell them alongside your product. For example, many home tutors deliver academic & educational content, including video tutoring materials, assignments, and PDFs, inside their own rebranded memory sticks with good designs.
How to Fix Repeated & Duplicated Music
The easy way to fix duplicate music is to employ special techniques to eliminate duplicate files. Fortunately, there are automated ways to identify & fix duplicates from memory sticks these days. However, you can also use some manual techniques, if you don’t wish to download software. We’ve got you covered as well.
Method 1: Manually Find & Delete Duplicate Music
Since there’s no duplicate-finding feature in Windows, we’ll rely on the file-sorting features of File Explorer to identify duplicate files.
For Windows 11
Note: We don’t recommend directly deleting your duplicate music. Move them to a separate folder to avoid potential data loss. You can delete them permanently once you’ve reviewed all the files individually.
For Windows 10/ 8.1/ 8
For Windows 7
Method 2: Automatically Fix all Duplicate Music Files
There’s a better, reliable way. With specialized software, you can get this job done quickly and effortlessly within minutes. Automatically scanning duplicate files will not only take less time & effort, but also guarantee accuracy.
If you’re manually deleting duplicate files using File Explorer, there’s a possibility of accidentally deleting original music files forever. You may prevent such unexpected data losses and safely clean duplicate junk using an algorithm-based duplicate finder software like Clone Files Checker.
Clone Files Checker is a duplicate finder for Windows and Mac. It lets you find duplicate files, documents, music, images, videos, and archives using powerful algorithms, typically within just a few minutes.
When the duplicate files scan is finished, Clone Files Checker shows the amount of storage that can be freed up and the total number of duplicate files that were found. There are two options- Fix Wizard (formerly, Quick Fix) and Review Fix.
Quick Fix initiates a beginner-friendly wizard that lets you choose which file versions to keep and what action to be taken (for example, delete the files permanently, or move them to a folder). You’ll also be given the option to create backups of your files prior to deleting them.
Another option, Review & Fix, provides you with a comprehensive list of all duplicate files found on your memory stick, so that you can manually mark the files you want to keep and unmark those you want to delete permanently/ move to folder. There are also automated file selection options available via the Select Duplicates button, which can be very handy and helpful to bulk select your files (obviously, who would want to manually select every single file one by one?). Thereafter, you can delete your marked duplicate files permanently, or move them to a separate folder on your disk, just like the above Fix Wizard option.
