Does this software exist that will scan the music you own, and search online for higher quality versions of it?

I have about 4k Mp3s downloaded over the years, all different quality. Instead of manually getting all them, it would be the bees knees if some software would just find the best quality of it online. Buy or free would not matter, maybe tie into amazon.com music site.

I know software exists for movies like this, specify for newsgroups. But anything for music that searches websites for lowest price/highest quality?

Seems like this would be popular software if it was around..

not allowed.

If you're legitimately looking to purchase the music from a licensed distributor (iTunes, Amazon MP3, Thumbplay, etc.), then your post is absolutely fine. However, if you're asking for software that will help you find free music illegally, it's not allowed for discussion on these boards.

Edit: It's probably the fact that you said you have about 4k MP3s downloaded over the years. That initially sounds like piracy to most people - myself included.

It's exactly as CTS says. If you're asking for help with piracy, we can't help you.

I never mentioned anything about piracy. sigh

Way to assume before you answer.

4k mp3s over the years sounds like piracy to you? Do you listen to the same songs over and over and over and over and over till your head explodes or something? Thats pretty normal song collection for most people i know.

4k mp3's at 12 songs a CD is about 334 cds. Over three years that's a CD every 3 days. You must have a prolific CD/album buying habit. And they all happen to be low bitrate too!

That said, amazon and 7digital usually have everything I want. And they are cheap too.
