Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'. duplicate entry

Question

I'm working on Android Studio 1.5 and my gradle is the following:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 14
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.beatzplayer"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 14
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }

        debug {
            minifyEnabled false
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile files('libs/jl1.0.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/JLayer1.0.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/mp3spi1.9.4.jar')
    compile files('libs/tritonus_share.jar')
}

I've sync, cleaned and rebuilt the Gradle but when I tried to run the app after choosing the device the app gave me this error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: javazoom/jl/converter/Converter$PrintWriterProgressListener.class

After that, I read Error after adding play-services library : ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug' so I add the following code:

compile('libs/JLayer1.0.1.jar') {
    exclude module: 'converter'
}

When I sync again the gradle it reported me this one:

Error:(29, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'exclude()'

This error will come when two Libraries have same Files, so they will generate this issue. — androgo, Dec 04 '15 at 13:09
Thank you for the answer androgo. I understand that but I don't know how to fix it — Murt, Dec 04 '15 at 20:05
The simplest way to find out clash between two libraries is to remove them one by one and buil gradle. — androgo, Dec 04 '15 at 20:41
I apologize for the delay. Removing the Jlayer library the error disappears. But I need that library, What can I do? — Murt, Dec 10 '15 at 10:43

I thing as error say you have one jar file with different name having same classes

 compile files('libs/jl1.0.1.jar')
compile files('libs/JLayer1.0.1.jar')

Both are same if one is not need delete that than build gradel once again
