Search for all music files (\*.mp3, etc.). Sort by name or file size and see if any seem similar.

That’s hardly “a program” 😉

Oh, good point!

Does it have to be a program? If it is a program, then there may be easier ways where you can check hash values of files and see if they match. That will give you a pretty accurate way of finding duplicate files!
