Clear the doubles. Keep your crates.
The Mac app for Serato DJs.
Built by a working DJ, for working DJs.
CrateKeeper cleans up a Serato library: duplicate tracks, including the MP3 you also own as a video; genres spelled every which way; tracks Serato lists but can't play. Nothing changes until you confirm, your library is backed up first, and Undo can put a change back.
The MP3 and the music video
A remix drops, you grab the audio, and two weeks later your video pool has it too. CrateKeeper finds the audio you also own as video. When it clears the MP3, the video takes its place in your crates, in the same spot.
The video stays. The MP3 goes.
Tags narrow it. The audio decides.
Two files can share an artist, title, BPM and length and still be different edits. CrateKeeper listens to both copies and compares the sound. Only pairs it has listened to can be cleared.
29 ways to spell Hip Hop, in one DJ's library
Pick the spelling a genre should read, or type your own, and confirm. It changes the track itself and Serato, and only that tag: the other genres on each track stay as they are.
One genre at a time.
Tracks Serato lists but can't play
A folder gets renamed and Serato loses the file. CrateKeeper lists each one, separates the lost from the ones Serato is just looking for in the wrong place, and can go looking for the rest.
There's a way back
Your Serato library is backed up and checked before a clear. Cleared files go to your Mac's Trash, and Undo puts a clear back: the file, its library entry, and its place in every regular crate it was in — while it's still in the Trash.
Start with one crate
Not ready to touch your whole library? Pick one crate, clean just that, and check it in Serato before going further.
