:: Keep File Criteria ::

Go to online version of a document.
Program automatically chooses which duplicates will be moved out and which one will be kept. Decision is ruled by 'keep-file-criteria'. Criteria is controlled by user (inspector ) and can include comparisons of: file type, file length, bit rate, song length, number of songs in folder and file creation time, as described in following table.

 

Keep file criteria has 6 levels.
Comparison rule : if two files are equal at first level, compare then at second level, if they are equal at second level, then compare them at third level, etc...

      • choose lesser bitrate, if equal choose item with longer play time
  • Time/Bitrate:
    • choose longer play time, if equal choose greater bitrate
    • choose longer play time, if equal choose bitrate closest to [320, 256, 192, 160, 128]
