SonodexIncoming
Incoming is the gateway for new music: new files are checked and analysed before you import them into the library with one click.

The four stepsLink to “The four steps”
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| New files arrive | Import, drag and drop, the watched folder and downloads put new audio files into Incoming. Imported DJ libraries go straight into the library. |
| Checked automatically | Every file is read in full: decoder errors, clipping, silence and level. |
| Analysis | “Analyse all” finds BPM, key, energy and the waveform. You can fix tags and covers first. |
| Into the library | “To library” imports the tracks in one click. With a library folder the files are moved there; otherwise they stay where they are. |
The buttonsLink to “The buttons”
- Analyse all
- Analyses all tracks in Incoming, without a dialogue. Analysis is a Pro feature.
- Check audio
- Opens the quality check for lossless files (up to 500 files per run).
- All to library
- Imports all tracks in Incoming into the library.
- Analyse / To library
- Appear in the selection bar when you select individual tracks in Incoming.
Under “Actions” you filter Incoming by “All”, “Open”, “Checked” and “Notes”.
Quality check and FLACLink to “Quality check and FLAC”
“Check audio” opens “Check incoming and import as FLAC”. Only lossless sources are checked; every file is fully decoded. The result per file:
- Eligible
- The file passed the check and is imported as FLAC.
- Review manually
- For example with true peak above 0 dBTP, suspected clipping, DC offset above 1 %, longer digital silence or noticeable band limiting. Listen and confirm with “Listened – import anyway”.
- Held back
- For example with decoder errors, unsupported bit depth (16 to 24 bit required), sample rate outside 44.1–192 kHz or more than two channels. Files with decoder errors are always held back.
Files with issues stay in Incoming. “To library” also imports lossless files that pass the check as FLAC: Sonodex decodes and checks the FLAC file before it replaces the original; the original is then deleted without a backup copy. MP3 and AAC stay unchanged. If you undo “Imported to library” in the history, the tracks return to Incoming; converted and moved files stay where they are.

Sonodex also explains the process under Settings → Incoming. That is where you set the watched folder and the library folder.
