BeatCrate

BeatCrate is a macOS‑only application that manages DJ music collections by automatically analyzing each track’s tempo, audio quality, and waveform. It imports common audio formats, runs a dual‑engine BPM detector that combines a CoreML neural network with traditional signal processing, and flags transcodes, low‑bitrate rips, and mislabeled files in a single scan. Users can view spectrograms and professional‑grade waveforms in multiple display modes, making it easy to assess the integrity of large playlists.

The program also streamlines metadata curation by querying five music databases—MusicBrainz, Discogs, iTunes, Beatport, and Traxsource—simultaneously. Results are presented in a merged view with inline differences, allowing users to select the most accurate information and apply it to fields such as ISRC, label, and track number. Artwork can be fetched from iTunes and DuckDuckGo, displayed in a visual grid, and applied with a single click.

Designed for DJs who need precise, repeatable organization, BeatCrate automates repetitive tasks like tagging, cleaning, and quality verification, helping users prepare sets without manual filtering or searching. It runs on macOS 13+ and is distributed through the Mac App Store.
