When I did this recently I used Lexicon DJ management (as I'm a DJ and it has lots of other features I was using too).

There are a few options to choose from in terms of how it searches and how strict it is when trying to find duplicates. I'm not sure which features are available on the free version, I paid just for one month to sort out a lot of things within my DJ library but it may be worth looking in to to see if it can serve your needs :)

edit to add more info

Website says - "With Find Duplicates you can scan all your tracks in your library and automatically compare them based on the audio signature or tags. This way truly identical audio duplicates are found. This even works with different file types. If you have an MP3 and a WAV with the same audio, Lexicon will match them and lets you choose which one you want to keep."

So it doesnt just scan filenames it compares the audio files themselves to weed out duplicates.

Here is a YT video of the process from their site

Ah yeh, you are right it is the stormlight archive book that is coming the beginning of next month, not more Mistborn. I'm still looking forward to that though!

I finished off Mr Mercedes which was good but probably not high up there in terms of Kings books for me. I think Eyes of a Dragon was his attempted at writing a YA novel for his kids if I remember rightly. I enjoyed it but again not one of my favourite King books.

As always I've done a couple of Deathlands books this week and still enjoying it greatly.

I also read Flux by Jeremy Robinson which is the third book in the Infinite series. It was another really good book and another one that really reminded me of Koontz and the way he writes. The end of it ties in really nicely with The Others which was the second book and adds some further back story into the universe and that story that I wasn't expecting throughout the story which was a nice surprise.

I have the fourth book ready to go and may start on that after a couple more Deathlands books :D

On the side I have spent a few hours editing Underwood and Flinch (by Mike Bennett) podcast releases I have the files for into a cohesive audio book with none of the podcast preamble and shit talking. I've listened to it a couple of times already and editing it has tempted me back for another listen which I may so sometime soon. If you'd like a modern day vampire story I strongly recommend checking it out!

I loved the first arc, it was my first Sanderson books but agree the second book is a little slower. I want to revisit the second arc as I haven't read the newest book and wasn't paying full attention for the first 2 books really. I think the latest book is release soon if it remember correctly so I may wait for that and then do all the books through from the beginning of the second arc.

I'm looking forward to the third arc more I think although I'm sure that is a while off yet!

I love this book, have read it a few times already and was considering it again recently!

Sorry, should have done so, something like this Nike one.

I believe I currently use a Sondico one which was much cheaper but equally as good as Nike is fairly over priced IMO and you are paying for the logo more than anything.

As someone else mentioned I would recommend a compression type base layer. You can get slightly different thickness ones that will help in different temperatures.

I had a Nike DRI Fit one that lasted for 10 years, and would have lasted me longer if I hadn't left it on the roof of my car at one point and lost it. You can get far cheaper ones as well though, my current one cost me around £15 and has lasted me 5 years so far and hasn't stretched out of shape or have any holes in so far and I use it pretty much everyday during the winter ones.

They keep air flowing and move sweet away from your skin to keep you dry as wetness will make you colder.

In my opinion morino wool is one of the worst things I have tried. They make you sweat a lot more, dont move the wetness away from your skin exacerbating the problem and making you feel very uncomfortable and fall apart in no time when compared to compression garments.

I'd say save your expensive wool for some when else.

For other layers I tend to use a cotton t shirt over top the compression layer, maybe two t shirts if it is very cold and then add in things like gloves, something to cover your neck and face and then a wool hat of somekind.

It is always best to be able to remove these layers where possible whilst you are running. In time you'll find what works with you. I'd often start out with a few more layers for that initial start then once you get going progressively remove stuff until comfortable. I'd always rather be very slightly cold then too warm when running.

As long as you dont turn that feature off it does. You can set it to restart if the device hasn't been unlocked for between 10 mins and 3 days.

I just estimated how much space I needed and channelled the right spell :p

I mean you only have to change a few words to figure out what they intended to write so I'd say not awake fully?

"In this setting the art of the mage was reading the battle and estimating how much space you need to channel each spell"

At least that is how I read it

I really want to try Unbound, it is the first title that has looked interesting to me in the NFS series for a while it is just a shame that I have to use their launcher, if this wasn't the case I might actually even be willing to break my rule of not giving EA any money (although I would buy it when it was on deep sale that they have fairly often). Shame.

I have never thought it is worth it, even back when WOW released, the economy was better and I was a teenager with a lot more disposable income I would never pay for a subscription to play a game. It is just a terrible way to run a game and I have always thought that.

I've never really understood why people would support that kind of model personally, there has never been a justification in my book.

Back then Guild Wars 1 was and always will be the far superior game when put up against WOW in my personal opinion and once I'd paid for that I could play it every month without further outlay. Shame how they ruined it with GW2 (unpopular opinion I'm sure but I stand by it xD)
