How to compare two folders for differences [Win10]

Hello

I've tried to google a solution to this problem but I've only found ways I don't really understand.

Basically I have two folders, one with .WMA files and one with .MP3, they should both have 2,515 identical folders in each but the .WMA folder has 2,514(one less). I know this is a silly thing to be bothered about but until the other day both had the same amount of folders and I want to know what's missing.

Is there a way to find out?

Thanks very much.

edit: just realised the commands I gave were no good. I might be back.

I've got WinMerge, I'm just having a look at it to see if I can figure it out. I'll probably be back.

Ok I think I'm sorted. There wasn't actually any songs missing but one album wasn't in its own folder like the rest so it was counting one less folder. Still don't know why it didn't show one less in WMP before now.

Thanks for the help anyway.
