SonodexArchive & favourites
The archive hides tracks without deleting them; favourites mark tracks and playlists you need often.

ArchiveLink to “Archive”
- Right-click → “Archive”, or drag tracks onto “Archive” in the playlist tree.
- Archived tracks disappear from “All tracks” and from smartlists. In playlists you put them in, they stay visible.
- Restore: right-click → “Restore from archive”, “Restore from archive” in the selection bar or drag onto “All tracks”.
Clean up archiveLink to “Clean up archive”
Library tools → “Clean up archive” (also Tools → “Clean up archive …”) finds archived tracks using filters such as “Imported more than … days ago”, “Without cues and loops” and “In no playlist and no set”. The table shows title, artist, date, playlists, location and whether the file can be restored; use the checkboxes to leave out individual tracks. Then you choose one of two ways:
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Remove from library …” | Only removes the entries from Sonodex. The audio files stay unchanged where they are. |
| “Move to bin …” | Removes the entries and puts the audio files together with their file variants in the Windows Recycle Bin. Files still used by another track stay where they are. |
Both actions ask for confirmation in a separate dialogue; Sonodex does not create a backup beforehand. At the end, a report shows what was removed and which files were left. “Undo” in the Edit menu restores the entries; you get files back from the bin.
FavouritesLink to “Favourites”
- Tracks: tick “Favourite” in the track details or use the recipe “Set favourite or archive”. “Favourites” in the playlist tree shows all favourites.
- Playlists: right-click → “Mark as favourite” or “Playlist favourite” in the playlist dialogue. Favourites have a ★ before the name.
