not sure what to call this question

ok so here is the scenario: 6 people in a house, each with their own pc. we'll have a central computer runnin win2003 and are sharing a folder on there with tons of music in it. what I want to be able to do, when dumping music on there (especially in huge chunks at the beginning), is be able to filter out some of the duplicate files.

to clarify: is there any software available that does "heuristic" (i guess you could call it) file search and replacement.

for example: snoop dogg - gin and juice.mp3 is thrown onto the music server by person a. person b tries to throw on snoopdogg-gin and juice.mp3. obviously, they are the same song, but windows would allow them to both exist in the same folder. is there any software that could recognize this type of similarity and filter accordingly?
