How can I compare files of different types (formats)?
I have a large music collection in lossless (wma) and mp3 formats. I use lossless to play at home, and mp3 to carry around on an iPod. I try to keep a complete set of files on my PC, my laptop and an offsite USB HDD. Synchronizing files of the same type is straightforward (though not without issue as I have found on many occasions).
How can I compare and make sure that my complete music collection in wma files is matched by a complete set of MP3's? For each format of music I have an identical folder structure (e.g. "WMA\Album Artist\Album\Song Title", then separately "MP3\Album Artist\Album\Song Title"), so I am really looking to do a folder compare, but making sure that "\xx\yyy\abc123.wma" = "\xx\yyy\abc123.mp3".
Apologies if this is straightforward to many of you, but I have searched in vain for a simple, easily repeatable way to do this. I feel that BC is the best tool to do this, but I'm not sure how.
