Surco on macOS: track list, Discogs match, metadata editor and quality analysis

  • Every tag, in one click. Discogs, Bandcamp, Deezer, Beatport and MusicBrainz.

  • And better audio while it does. Catches the FLACs that came from an MP3.

  • And they land in your program. Apple Music, Engine DJ, rekordbox.

  • And your library, tidied. Typos, spellings and duplicates.

Works with

  • Discogs
  • Bandcamp
  • Deezer
  • Apple Music
  • Engine DJ
  • rekordbox
  • Traktor
  • Serato

Step by step

One track, start to finish

Seven steps, one window. Along the way you'll find out which of your FLACs are really MP3s.

01 · in

Drop them and they're in.#

Whole folders. Surco reads tags, length and artwork on the fly, and never adds the same track twice.

02 · tagged

The tags, from Discogs, in one click.#

Discogs for labels, Bandcamp for self-released, Deezer for the charts, Beatport for the club, MusicBrainz for everything else. One click fills it all in: artist, label, year, BPM and artwork.

03 · checked

That FLAC was an MP3.#

Buying lossless is no guarantee it is. If someone converted an MP3 to FLAC, the file weighs the same but the spectrum shows the wall. Surco flags it before the track ever leaves the house.

04 · 05 · 06 · the polish

And better audio while it does.#

Three fixes Surco makes to the same track: it cleans the clicks and noise off vinyl, trims the silence off the end and levels every track to the same volume.

Removes clicks, background noise and rumble. You can hear the result before you convert.#

The cut latches onto the last hit. To the millisecond, with a listen either side.#

Streaming, club or broadcast presets, and it tells you how much each track will move before it touches anything.#

07 · out

And it lands in your Apple Music.#

Pick a format and a destination and convert the whole folder. With Apple Music and Engine DJ you import nothing: the track shows up in your library with its artwork on, and on Engine DJ, with rating and playlist. Everything else gets the file it expects.

and later · replaced

Upgrade the file. Your playlists never notice.#

If the track is already in your Apple Music, the button reads “Replace”. Any format works, the same one included, from an MP3 to an AIFF or from a 128 MP3 to a 320. Apple Music and rekordbox move to the new file and the track stays in the ten playlists you had it in, cues included. No adding it back to each one by hand.

Your library

Find the typos and duplicates in your library#

Surco goes through your Apple Music library or the folder you drop and groups what's spelled more than one way, the invisible spaces and characters that sneak in when you copy from a website, and the tracks you have twice. You choose how it should read and the change reaches the files, Apple Music and, if you sync them, rekordbox, Engine DJ and Traktor.

  1. 01

    Spellings

    DJ Lara and Dj Lara, Head Horny's with two different apostrophes, accents that don't match.

  2. 02

    Typos

    Rahcel for Rachel. A typo never joins the batch by itself, you decide.

  3. 03

    Duplicates

    The same track twice. The copy you keep joins the playlists of the one you remove.

  4. 04

    Everywhere

    Files, Apple Music, rekordbox, Engine DJ and Traktor, with a backup of every file. And corrections come with Undo.

All of it, in one window.

No cloud, no limits, nothing to sign up for. It updates itself.

Direct download

Or with Homebrew

$ brew install --cask surco-app/surco/surco

Homebrew: macOS only. Windows and Linux, from the download button.

Your originals are left alone. When you change format, the copy goes to a separate folder. It only rewrites the file if you re-export to the same format, which is how it updates tags without re-encoding. Notarised by Apple.
