Album Completeness tester?!?, Is there one; if not, good opp to make one Options

[tigertales]

Anyone know of an app that can scan album folders and let me know if the full album is there??

In moving files around HD's seems that some songs/files get lost in the process, and there's no real easy way of determining if what i have is the full album - that I know of.

So, pointers welcome.

If no such thing exists, I think it would be a winner if one of you geniuses could come up with such an app.

It's called a MD5 checksum! I recommend you read into it to understand how it works and then do a search for some open source applications that exist you can already use.

"A well known and widely used cryptographic hash function is MD5. Especially in software integrity applications and code signing programs MD5 has been a popular hash function for many years now. Many websites making software (source code or executable) available for download provide on the website with the software itself its MD5 checksum."

Thanks HS - will look into it.

You could move the files by copying them to the destination drive and then deleting the old ones using a duplicate finder like clonespy.
