SonodexLibrary check
Find missing and broken files, beatgrids, metadata, duplicates and unused files so that you go into the gig with a checked library.

Start checkLink to “Start check”
Open Library → Library check. At the top, an overview summarises the status, such as “Not yet checked”, “No problems found”, “Notes found” or “Errors found”, with the number of errors, warnings and notes and the time of the last full check.
- “Check whole library” checks files, beatgrids, metadata and duplicates one after another. A progress indicator shows the step (“Step … of …”); “Cancel” stops after the current step, and areas already checked stay up to date.
- “Fully decode audio (slower)” includes the audio check in the full check; otherwise it stays a separate step.
- Each area on the left shows its status (“Not checked”, “Running”, “OK”, “Warning”, “Error”) and the number of results; “Check again” checks only that area.
ResultsLink to “Results”
On the right are the results with type, severity, track, location and recommendation, sorted by severity first; clicking a column header sorts differently. “Filter results” searches by title, artist or file path, and “Severity” narrows it down. If you select results, the bulk actions offer suitable steps, for example “Find file (relink) …”, “Search by fingerprint” or “Open in Quick Fixes”.
The sectionsLink to “The sections”
- Files
- Missing or unreadable files and import notes. “Find lost files by fingerprint” finds moved files again; “Find file (relink) …” relinks individually.
- Beatgrids
- Missing or uncertain beatgrids.
- Metadata
- Missing artists, genres, keys and covers. “Recheck embedded covers” reads the covers again.
- Duplicates
- “Find duplicates by” “Audio signature” or “Artist, title, version & duration”, then “Compare candidates”. Matches show the agreement as a percentage and can be “Linked as file variants”.
- Audio check
- “Check full audio decode” for up to 500 tracks; finds broken files. Takes longer and is only part of the full check if you choose.
- Unused files
- “Find unused files” compares a music folder with the library. It asks for a folder and is not part of the full check.
Database checkLink to “Database check”
“Database check” checks the library database for consistency and does not change any data. The result reads, for example, “The SQLite structure and foreign keys are consistent.”
Relink a single fileLink to “Relink a single file”
If a file is missing, you find it with right-click → “File” ▸ “Find and relink file”.
