Is there a mac program that will.....?

Is there a mac program that will search for duplicate copies of a file on my hard drive and automatically eliminate all of them but one?

I know for a fact my sample library has several folders with say some of the same drum hits on them. I would like to conserve space by only haveing each usage of a sound on disc once (maybe 2times) Is there something in existance that will do this?

Cool stuff.
I downloaded iSweep. It appears to be for iTunes only. Also, the shareware will find and list duplicate but you have to pay a $15. registration fee for the full version that allows you to delete the duplicates.

dunno, different format you mean aiff and wav?
my guess is some of those tools (didn't try them all) can "see" if a file is the same, even when the name is different.. but entirely different format, means different file.
