Crate Cleaner scans your Serato DJ Pro library, kills duplicates, relinks broken files and builds harmonic sets, so you spend the night reading the room, not fixing metadata.
Years of downloads. Three copies of every banger. Files that turn red mid-set. Crates nested four deep. Cleaning it by hand is a weekend you'll never get back, so it never gets done.
The same track in MP3, FLAC and a dirty edit, eating gigabytes and cluttering every search.
Moved drives and renamed folders leave broken links that fail the moment you load them on stage.
No BPM, no key, no waveform. You're guessing at transitions instead of mixing in key.
Hundreds of overlapping crates with no system. Finding the right record kills your momentum.
A composite health score across six signals: crated, uncrated, duplicated, missing and corrupt. Top Fixes ranks every action by score impact, so you always know the next move that actually matters.
Exact, metadata, filename and fuzzy matching, grouped by confidence. Auto-pick keeps the highest bitrate, most cues, earliest added, and the file you keep inherits its crates. Nothing is deleted: it's archived, and restorable anytime.
Set rules for BPM, harmonic key, energy and genre. Crate Cleaner auto-builds the set along an energy arc to your peak, scores the harmonic flow, labels every transition, then exports straight back to Serato.
Browse any crate with analyzed BPM, Camelot key, cue counts and format inline. Search the entire library instantly, sort by energy, and preview without ever leaving the window.
One button checks a crate for missing files, corruption, fake bitrates, duplicates in the set and explicit versions, and rolls it all into one gig-ready verdict.
Every explicit track flagged from Spotify's own label data and your titles, clean and explicit versions of a song grouped together, and a one-click clean-event filter.
Connect Spotify, pick a playlist, and Crate Cleaner matches every track against the files you already own, then builds a Serato crate with BPM, key, cues and waveforms already in place.
Radio edit, clean, extended, remix: Crate Cleaner treats each as a different song. Confident matches import automatically; anything borderline waits in a review queue for your call.
Spectral analysis reads the real frequency ceiling of every file, so an upscaled 128 can’t hide behind a 320 tag. One-click repair fixes clipped peaks and loudness and freezes the result losslessly, with cues, loops and ratings intact.
Three steps from messy to gig-ready, and your database is never touched until you say go.
Open Crate Cleaner and select your Serato database. Everything reads read-only, so your library is safe before you change a thing.
One scan returns a health score, a ranked fix list, duplicate groups and missing-file matches across your whole collection.
Dedupe, relink and build smart crates, then commit changes while Serato's closed. Archived files stay restorable forever.
Less time fixing metadata, more time reading the room.
“I deleted 800 duplicates in one pass and not one cue point or beatgrid moved. First tool I actually trust near my Serato library.”
“The harmonic Smart Crates are unreal. I built a peak-hour set in five minutes and it already flowed in key. Saved my whole prep night.”
“Half my library was red after a drive swap. Crate Cleaner relinked everything and rebuilt the crates. Two years of mess, fixed before my set.”
Start on the free plan with your real library. No card, no time limit.
Yes. Scans are strictly read-only, and Crate Cleaner only writes when Serato is closed, and the status bar tells you when it's safe. Removed duplicates are moved to a restorable archive, never hard-deleted, so you can always roll back.
Always. Beatgrids and cue points are preserved, and when you resolve a duplicate the track you keep inherits the crate memberships of the ones you remove, so nothing falls out of your sets.
MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF and AAC, the formats Serato DJ Pro reads. Crate Cleaner profiles your whole library by format and bitrate so you can prefer your highest-quality copies automatically.
Yes, Crate Cleaner is a native macOS app running on both Apple Silicon and Intel. A Serato DJ Pro library on the same machine is all you need.
No. Scanning, deduping, repair and smart-crate building all run locally on your machine. Your library never leaves your computer.
Point Crate Cleaner at your Serato library and see your health score in minutes.
