There's a trial of duplicate cleaner pro. I'm not sure if it works with jaws (maybe the touch cursor?) but I got it working, mostly, with NVDA. If you don't know your object navigation and don't want to spend a few minutes playing with it and hitting unlabeled buttons to see what they do, this isn't the program for you. It lets you detect duplicate mp3s based on audio data. For example, song1 and song2 are the exact same song, but with different tags. Sometimes this happens, and a basic hash check will see them as different. I think it can also check different audio data but same tags, but my stuff isn't tagged properly so that would give a lot of false positives. Each time you scan, the trial lets you delete from the first 100 groups. If you go over, it'll complain when you try to delete, not when you select, so delete often or keep track of what group number you're on.
Is it worth the $30? Maybe if some of the issues are fixed. I haven't reported them yet, I might do that. You can try Duplicate file finder by Funduc Software, there's a trial and it seemed to use standard controls. IT doesn't have the cool music duplicate finder that Duplicate Cleaner has, it just does hash checks. This one seems to use either crc or md5. Personally, I'd use md5, though it's been broken for a while in terms of collision resistance. If you use either of these, be sure to check over the results before you delete things. It's sometimes useful to keep one or the other version of a duplicate, or both. For example, if a song is in two albums, I'd want to keep both.
