Use Mirage to find duplicates of songs #30

Since mirage is computing some kind of fingerprint for each audio-track,
shouldn't it be possible to use it to find duplicates of songs?

If you have different versions of the same song (e.g. different file-type
or different bitrate) it's not easily possible to use a hash of the file.

And if you changed the metadate, you cannot use them.

I think mirage may be helpful here.

Good idea, to do some duplicate files filtering in the case the files are 
really twice on your collective hard disks (for whatever reason). Either this 
or allow advanced syncing.
