Midas you are correct however I burned the same CD at 128 and 192 and could not hear any difference-I have a 2 CD drive player on my home system and could not tell which was which.

Wow! So far I am impressed. Its fast, small and it makes backups before repairing.

Nice app; being tried.

If you just want to know details of your MP3 files, Mr QuestionMan ( http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=5 ) might be a good option...

Download, extract it with Universal Extractor, UPX the EXE if you will (reduced to 38%) and sail away. Don't let its beta status fool you, MQM is stable and fully portable -- it keeps its settings in an INI file on the folder it starts from. Plus it generates good HTML reports with the same columns you select for its main window.

Where are the log files located when using the front end on an XP machine? Any ideas?

I never tried AudioComparer (the website screams spam/trojan)

Similarity is now portable according to its change log from 2010-01-19: Portable mode, all data stored in same folder with exe file, use "similarity.exe /portable"

I've gotten decent results with both Duplicate Music Files Finder and Similarity, but I prefer the latter.
