CrateMate scans your messy music folders, finds duplicates, flags bad-quality files, fixes metadata and album art, and lets you rename everything cleanly — all on your machine, nothing deleted without your say-so.
Built for DJs with USB sticks, promo pools, Telegram dumps and YouTube rips.
Point it at a folder and CrateMate scans every subfolder in parallel — mp3, m4a, aac, wav, aiff, flac — streaming results as it goes.
Reads title, artist, album, genre, year, BPM, key, bitrate, sample rate, duration, channels and size — with smart fallbacks.
Flags low bitrate, low sample rate, undersized files, suspected YouTube rips, missing tags and odd encodings.
Four strategies — byte-identical hash, artist+title, filename and duration+size — group dupes and recommend the best version to keep.
Build clean filenames from your tags with a token pattern like {artist} - {title} [{bpm} BPM] [{key}]. Preview before applying.
Find missing cover art from iTunes or drop in your own image — embedded straight into the file.
Built-in preview with a rekordbox-style RGB waveform: red lows, green mids, blue highs. Scrub right on the wave.
See totals, bad-quality count, duplicates, missing BPM/key, format split, bitrate histogram, decades and top genres at a glance.
English, Dansk, Français, Español, Deutsch, Svenska and Nederlands — switch instantly.
Light, dark or system, with six accent colors that flow through the whole UI.
Nothing is ever deleted, moved or renamed without your confirmation. Deletions go to the trash and every change is logged.
No account, no tracking, no telemetry. Everything runs on your machine — and it is completely free.
Pick a folder. CrateMate reads every track in parallel and streams them in as it goes — work while it scans.
See duplicates grouped with a recommended keeper, quality flags, missing tags and art, and rename previews.
Approve only what you want. Deletions go to the trash, every change is logged — never anything destructive by surprise.
