DupDetector doesn't catch resizes and VisiPics apparently isn't free. Some alternatives you might try:
DupliFinder is a bit clunky and too lenient for my purposes, but you can tweak that. Apparently it uses the same idea I had, but with a different distance metric. It should be better in finding similar images, but worse at finding exact duplicates. Unfortunately it needs .Net but the source is available so you can port it to something else if you want to. http://www.codeplex.com/DupliFinder/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/tamir/archive/2007/09/11/Find-similar-images-on-your-computer-wit h-Duplicate-Images-Finder.aspx
DuMP3 claims to work on audio also. I like the screenshots of the UI, maybe I'll give it a spin. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dump3/
If you search for duplicate images on SourceForge you get loads of results but a lot of them only compare for exact file identity and wouldn't catch e.g. the same image at a different size or in a different file format. Also, I imagine a lot of them are crap, unmaintained or just starting, but there could be some gems there, so if you have to this kind of thing often...
