What's new

The highlights of every release, without the noise. The features that change how you prep your music, version by version.

v0.75July 26, 2026

Traktor cues now survive trimming on FLAC too

  • When you trim a track, the Traktor cues and beatgrid stored in the file are re-anchored to the cut on FLAC as well, which used to need a re-analysis. That joins MP3 and AIFF, where the grid's start now also keeps the beat's phase when a trim cuts a beat in half, so the grid no longer ends up off. WAV still loses them.
  • Importing a large or networked folder now fills the list with tracks as they are found, instead of leaving you in front of an empty screen until the whole walk finishes.
  • Surco opens faster and no longer flashes a black window while starting up, not even when the last session pointed at a slow network folder.
  • Dropping a folder no longer piles up “already in the list” notices: the tracks Surco turns up while walking the folder are no longer mistaken for duplicate files.
  • Importing a folder no longer leaves repeated tracks in the list: some slipped in twice when Surco turned up several subfolders at once, most often on fast local drives.
v0.74July 25, 2026

MP3s stay as they are, and update checks that retry themselves

  • New “Keep MP3 files as MP3” option in Settings → Conversion: when exporting to a lossless format, MP3s skip the conversion — which would only make them bigger without restoring quality — and their tags are updated on the original file, while the rest of the batch converts as usual.
  • If the update check fails, Surco now quietly retries in the background and, when the failure persists, shows a short message with a retry button instead of the unreadable technical error it used to dump.
v0.73July 24, 2026

Deezer joins the search

  • Deezer is now a metadata source alongside Discogs and Bandcamp: it searches its catalog for your tracks, brings in cover art, and when a file carries its ISRC code, it lands on the exact match right away. It turns itself on — nothing to set up.
v0.72July 24, 2026

A waveform you can read at a glance, and instant startup

  • The player waveform is bigger and sharper, and the part still to play is dimmed so progress reads at a glance. Hovering over it previews the exact spot a click will jump to, the clock is now always visible, and the player's active buttons are easier to tell apart.
  • Surco now remembers what it already knows about your music between sessions — your Apple Music library, each track's metadata and analysis, Discogs and Bandcamp lookups, and your Engine DJ database — so the app opens and shows your library instantly instead of recomputing everything from scratch.
v0.71July 23, 2026

A spinning vinyl, the assistant always at hand, and no freezes on damaged files

  • The player's artwork is now a vinyl record that spins while the track plays, with a Surco-colored label when the file carries no cover. The player waveform also picks up your theme's accent color, in the light theme too.
  • The setup assistant can be reopened anytime from the Help menu or the command palette. It starts from your current settings and only applies what you change, so re-running it never undoes the rest.
  • Metadata suggestions now adapt to the window width on a single line: the ones that fit are shown and a “+N” groups the rest.
  • Damaged audio files no longer freeze the app: analysis marks them as unreadable and moves on with the rest, and a WAV with a broken header is repaired on the fly so it can still play.
  • Converting several tracks at once no longer fizzles out with no explanation: if any of them is missing a required field, the button disables itself and tells you exactly what is left to fill in, just like with a single track.
  • Apple Music on macOS 26: when Music gets stuck and stops importing (a known system bug), Surco now recovers the track if it did get imported and otherwise tells you what happened and how to get unstuck, instead of failing with a cryptic error.

Earlier versions

v0.70Same as source: tag without re-encodingJuly 22, 2026
  • “Same as source” joins the default format: every file keeps its own format, so a mixed batch of WAV, FLAC and MP3 takes its Discogs or Bandcamp metadata without being re-encoded. With the audio filters off, the audio bytes are never touched — only the tags and the artwork are rewritten. It works with every destination, including overwriting the original, and can be picked right from the welcome wizard.
  • New protections for your files: a track whose format can't be kept (.opus, .m4a…) is skipped with a notice instead of being converted to something else — and under overwrite, your original is never deleted. And if a filter would force an MP3 to be re-encoded over itself, Surco asks for confirmation before losing quality, including when the filter comes from Settings.
  • Changing the format or destination in Settings now reaches the open editor instantly: the convert button reflects what will actually happen, no need to close and reopen the track.
v0.69Cleaner titles, and exports that don't stack upJuly 21, 2026
  • Remove numbering is now on the Title field menu too, and it recognizes many more numbering styles: with a dash, with a dot, in parentheses, or stuck to the name with no separator at all. It also tells track numbers apart from numbers that belong to the title, so 3 Heads and 2 Unlimited stay exactly as they are.
  • When you export a track over itself, Surco no longer re-applies the normalization and declick that export already baked in. Editing just the metadata stops reprocessing the audio, so you don't lose a generation on lossy formats or stack gain on top of gain.
  • Find & Replace no longer closes every time you apply: the panel stays open with its fields cleared, ready for the next change. Cleaning up a folder in several passes now happens in one go, without reopening it over and over.
v0.68Back up your settings, and smarter defaultsJuly 21, 2026
  • You can now export your whole configuration to a file and import it back whenever you want: a complete backup with everything included, ready to restore any time or carry over to another machine.
  • Your Discogs token now travels with the shared settings folder, so if you sync your preferences across several Macs (via iCloud or Dropbox) your Discogs access follows to all of them without setting it up again.
  • Fresh installs now analyze audio quality the moment you import and search Discogs and Bandcamp together, so you catch transcodes and find your releases from the very first track, without touching a single setting.
v0.67Everything analyzed on import, and a more direct editorJuly 21, 2026
  • When you import with automatic analysis on, Surco now precomputes all eight analyses for each track at once, not just the spectrum. Open a track and everything is ready: spectrogram, dynamics and the rest show instantly instead of being computed on the spot.
  • The editor remembers your normalization values across tracks and across sessions: set them once and they stick, no need to re-enter them for every track.
  • The metadata form is a single list again, in the order you choose, with no collapsible sections to open. You see and edit all your fields at a glance.
  • Settings are reorganized into a vertical sidebar with sections on the left, grouped by topic, so you find each option without hunting for it.
  • New action to strip leading numbering from the title in one click, for when the name carries a number you don't need.
  • In Stats, match origin now shows as a proportion bar, so you see at a glance where your results come from.
v0.66Metadata sorted into groupsJuly 20, 2026
  • Metadata now groups into collapsible sections (Identity, Catalog, DJ, Order): open only the one you need, and each tells you how many of its fields are filled. Even with every field turned on, the editor stays short and tidy instead of turning into an endless list.
  • Some FLACs with two embedded covers (common in Bandcamp downloads) wouldn't play; they now play fine.
v0.65A clearer, tidier editorJuly 20, 2026
  • The track you're editing is highlighted with a solid blue, both in your library and in the release's tracklist, so you can see at a glance what you're working on.
  • Each track's quality now shows as a colour stripe on the row's edge: scan the list and spot the tracks that want attention without reading every icon.
  • When you pick a release, a new band clearly separates searching from choosing the track, and tells you how many tracks it has.
  • The mini-player docks at the bottom in its own bar instead of floating over the list, so it no longer covers your tracks while you listen.
v0.64Every tag, visible and under controlJuly 19, 2026
  • The editor now shows every tag a file carries, not just the usual fields: a new "Other metadata" section lists the ones other apps leave behind (Serato, Traktor, MusicBrainz, ReplayGain…) so you can see exactly what your track is carrying.
  • You can delete those third-party tags one at a time or all at once, and un-mark any of them if you change your mind before exporting.
  • "Clear all metadata" now really clears: it used to leave other apps' tags stuck to the file; now the track goes out with only what you put on it.
  • WAV files now show all of their tags in the editor, including the ones that used to stay hidden.
  • The metadata section looks cleaner: the header takes less room, and the genre and grouping suggestions no longer pile up — they collapse behind a "+N" when there are many.
  • The grouping Apple Music stores its own way now reads correctly: a file that went through your library comes back into Surco with its grouping intact, instead of showing up empty.
  • The editor looks tidier and more consistent: every section shares the same rhythm and spacing, the loudness analysis reads as a clear table with its colour-coded status, and the dividers between blocks breathe better.
v0.63Converting, with more controlJuly 17, 2026
  • When the editor opens a track with a high-confidence match, it now applies it on its own: the right tags show up without you having to confirm a match that was already obvious.
  • Metadata fields commit and advance to the next one on Enter, so you can fill in a whole release from the keyboard without touching the mouse.
  • Converting a single track in place now asks for confirmation before it overwrites the original file.
  • A single-track conversion can be cancelled while it runs, without waiting for it to finish.
  • In a batch conversion, a decision about a conflicting file can be applied to the rest of the run at once, instead of answering release by release.
  • Sending a long track to Apple Music no longer times out while it imports, and when something goes wrong the message now explains why instead of showing internal code, with a button to copy it.
  • Label names no longer carry the number Discogs puts in parentheses to tell same-named labels apart ("One Way Records (8)"): it comes out clean now, both in the tag and in the file name, with no more deleting it by hand.
  • Clearing the metadata now truly blanks the track: on top of the text fields it also wipes the rating and the artwork, so you can retag a file from scratch with nothing left behind.
  • Clearing the metadata now also removes the stray tags other apps leave behind (like Medieval CUE Splitter's "NOTES"): the file comes out fully clean, not just the fields Surco edits.
  • The search results column and its rows now share the same design as your track list: a suggested match is marked with an icon instead of a label that covered the name, so everything reads at a glance.
  • The widen-results and widen-editor buttons in the top bar respond instantly and their three widths are now clearly distinct, so you can reframe the columns for the task in one click.
  • The welcome flow's audio step is tuned to the DJ's workflow.
  • The regenerate-filename button is a clean icon again next to the customize one, and help labels no longer stay stuck over a button after you click it.
v0.62The editor, in phasesJuly 17, 2026
  • The editor now reads in three phases: File, Audio and Output. Each block of sections carries its own heading with an accent tick, so at a glance you know which part of the job you're in — fixing the tags, cleaning up the sound, or choosing how to export — instead of one long list of loose sections.
  • Focus presets in the header. Three icons split the results column's space to match what you're doing: wide to find the release, balanced, or at its minimum so the editor can breathe. One click instead of dragging the divider every time.
  • The click-repair and loudness sections can now be maximized, like the other waveform sections, so you can work the detail without the rest of the editor crowding you out.
  • Waveforms are drawn with more information: a filled body marking the real RMS level and clip marks as full-height lines, so you can see at a glance where the audio runs loud and where it clips.
  • The loudness controls are tidier: each preset sits next to its number field as one control, the legend reads in two lines, and the applied gain shows as a signed chip.
  • New "Search on Google" option in the track menu, to open a search for the title straight from the list.
  • The beatgrid is retired. BPM and cue relocation on trimming stay; the beat grid is no longer part of the app.
v0.61Faster matchesJuly 16, 2026
  • Auto-match runs much faster. Each track's candidate releases load several at a time instead of one after another, so a track with no match that used to take half a minute to give up now resolves in a third of the time, and a big crate's whole queue moves along quicker.
  • The track you have open goes first. Its waveform, BPM, key and loudness jump ahead of the background analyses, and its metadata search skips the queue — during a whole-crate sweep, what you're looking at responds right away instead of waiting its turn.
  • If you add your own Discogs token in Settings, it now runs in its own faster lane: your private quota stops pacing against the app's shared key, so big sweeps feel noticeably lighter.
  • The Activity panel has a copy button. The whole log — every search, every timing, every error with its technical detail — copies as plain text ready to paste into a chat or a report, instead of cropping screenshots.
  • A fake rip gives itself away from the list. Tracks with a suspicious frequency cutoff show their warning right on the row, and the spectrum shades the dead band so you see at a glance where the audio dies.
  • The editor loads without flashes. Every section — wave, spectrum, loudness, properties, BPM and key — shows a skeleton in its real shape while it analyses, and sections open and close with a smooth animation instead of jumping.
  • More tracks fit on screen: list rows are more compact and Properties lays out in two columns, half as tall.
  • The list scrolls smoothly. Scrolling through tracks no longer stutters: covers decode off the main thread and auto-match waits until you stop scrolling before it works, so flying through the crate feels fluid top to bottom.
  • Skipping through tracks no longer leaves ghost work behind. When you move to another track, the previous one's analyses (spectrum, loudness, waveform) are cancelled instantly instead of decoding on in the background — so when you step down the list sampling each track, the spectrum of the one you're looking at shows up right away instead of waiting behind analyses that no longer matter.
v0.60Fine-tune the grid by handJuly 15, 2026
  • The beatgrid's Auto button now leads. It's the first thing you reach for and the one control in that row that rebuilds the whole grid rather than nudging it, so it stops being another icon lost among the rest and becomes the accented button that opens the toolbar — "start here".
  • And when Auto doesn't land it, you start over. A new button collapses every segment back to one clean tempo, so you can lay the grid by hand from a tidy slate instead of fighting the stretches the detector got wrong. Undo brings it back.
  • The waves show what the trim takes away. In click repair, loudness and the beatgrid, the head and tail the silence trim will cut are dimmed over the wave, so you can see at a glance which audio won't reach the export — without anything shifting.
  • A silence cut fine-tunes with the arrows. As well as dragging the handle, the left/right arrows and a pair of flanking buttons nudge the cut point a hair at a time, to land the start or the end without wrestling the mouse.
  • Large libraries no longer bog down. Dropping hundreds of tracks at once — and typing in the editor with many loaded — no longer freezes the list: the app batches the work instead of redoing it track by track, so it stays fluid however full the crate is.
  • Opening an editor section shows its loading skeleton instantly, instead of a blank gap while it warms up: trim, click repair, loudness, beatgrid and quality all respond right away.
  • Loading a wave no longer stutters. The channel scan the wave needs now runs in the background, so the interface stays responsive while a heavy track prepares instead of locking up for a moment.
  • Lighter with a full crate. The rest of the heavy audio analysis moves to the background and covers take less memory, so with hundreds of tracks loaded the app runs smoother and leaner.
v0.59The grid follows the platterJuly 14, 2026
  • The beatgrid now follows records that don't hold a steady tempo. Vinyl rarely does: the platter drags, a pressing runs a shade slow, two takes are spliced into the same cut. Until now, when Surco spotted that, it dropped a grid change but left the same BPM running underneath, so the grid walked off the kicks again within bars. Each stretch now carries its own tempo, measured on the beats the record actually plays, and the grid stays on them from first bar to last: a record sliding from 128 to 126 is something Auto now sorts out on its own. It is calibrated against real vinyl, with the wobble and the layered percussion that comes with it, so a record that does hold its tempo still comes out as a single stretch.
  • The header tells you how many segments the grid holds. It used to say just "128 BPM", which on a drifting record is the first stretch's tempo, not the record's. It now says "128 BPM · 5 segments", so a folded section still tells you what's inside it.
  • The Auto button says what it does. Its description talked about detecting the tempo again, which undersold the two things that matter: that it fixes the whole grid, adding segments if the record drifts, and that it discards your edits when it does.
  • And the grid editor handles better. Every segment shows its tempo however narrow it is (the first one used to fall silent exactly when you needed it), the one you're editing now stands out at a glance, and a tempo change can be removed with the ✕ on its own segment — until now that only worked by pressing Delete on the diamond, which nobody ever found. The ruler's timestamps are legible over the waveform too, rather than dissolving into it.
  • Surco carries the mood and energy tags other DJ tools write, instead of dropping them on conversion.
v0.58Hear what you keep, not what you loseJuly 14, 2026
  • Vinyl click repair now shows you where the clicks are. Every click the detector finds is marked on the track's own waveform, so a dusty pressing reads at a glance instead of as a number.
  • And it lets you hear the result, not the damage. The old audition played only the noise the repair removed — proof the filter fired, but useless for the question you actually have: does my record still sound right? Now Surco renders the repaired track and you switch between it and the original mid-playback, with no gap in the audio. That gap is the whole point: a repair that eats the attack of a snare is a subtle difference, and subtle differences only survive an instant switch.
  • Jump straight to any click. Clicks last milliseconds, so hunting for one by dragging is hopeless — press Next click to walk them one by one, click a mark to hear that exact one, or drag anywhere on the wave and press Space to play from there.
  • Surco runs on Linux. The app now ships as an AppImage, built and verified on every release alongside the macOS and Windows builds.
  • The beatgrid handles tracks that change tempo. Press G to start a new segment wherever the tempo shifts, step between segments with the bracket keys, and see the seams marked on the overview. The grid audition now runs until you stop it with Space, instead of cutting out mid-judgement.
  • A handful of things that were quietly wrong: nudging the grid past the start of the track kept walking it the way you pressed instead of snapping back; a lane pan whose pointer got away no longer sticks; and opening the mini-player no longer shoves the whole editor sideways as a scrollbar appears.
v0.57Nothing is lost in silenceJuly 14, 2026
  • Removing a selection from the list now asks first. A row's ✕ acted on the whole selection it belonged to, so one click on a 12-pixel target could drop forty tracks and every edit staged on them, with no way back. Now it warns you — and removing a lone row is still one click.
  • Failures no longer happen in silence. Saving a quality report, sharing your stats or dragging artwork in from a browser could quietly do nothing — the spinner finished and no file appeared. Now they tell you.
  • Button labels are actually readable in dark mode. The palette's blue and rose are light colours, and white text on them was left floating; it now carries dark ink and contrasts properly.
  • Big crates no longer eat memory. Waveforms and spectrograms are released once nothing shows them, instead of being kept until you quit: analysing 300 tracks in one go stops weighing on the rest of the session.
  • Auditioning the beatgrid runs smoothly. The playhead used to repaint the whole section on every frame — exactly while you are judging by eye whether the clicks land on the transients.
v0.56Trim, up closeJuly 14, 2026
  • Silence trim now shows the two places that matter — the start and the end of the track — side by side and already framed on the cut. No more zooming and scrubbing to find the silence.
  • Cuts are set to the millisecond: type the exact second, step it in 10 ms nudges, and zoom each end independently down to a quarter-second of context.
  • The beatgrid lane reads like a grid again: the downbeat leads, the beats stay quiet, and the wave is no longer buried under a picket fence of lines.
  • Auto now re-detects just the stretch you are working on when you have split the grid with Adjust from here, instead of redoing the whole track.
  • Every wave section shares one zoom control, and the toolbars line up: same buttons, same order, same place, whichever section you are in.
v0.55Grid editing, all grown upJuly 13, 2026
  • Beatgrids now handle tempo changes: split the grid with Adjust from here, edit each stretch on its own, and detection flags mid-track drift automatically. Every DJ export carries the full multi-segment grid.
  • Grid editing works like rekordbox: a fixed centre reference with the offset in bars, magnetic beats, tap tempo, C to centre a beat, set-a-beat-here, fine interval steps, and a compact one-line toolbar whose nudge buttons repeat while held.
  • Trim, Beatgrid and Audio quality can take over the whole window while you work — Esc puts them back without losing your place.
  • The zoomed waveform stays crisp during playback and fast navigation.
  • Editor sections now follow the working order of a track, from tags to export.
v0.54The beatgrid, yoursJuly 13, 2026
  • New Beatgrid section in the editor: Surco detects the BPM and the first beat and draws the grid over the wave. Adjust it by grabbing any line, with precision nudges, by editing the BPM (÷2/×2 for the octave), and check it by ear in one click. The Auto button re-analyzes from scratch whenever you want.
  • The grid you confirm travels with your exports: rekordbox and Traktor receive it in their collections, and converted files carry the Serato grid in their tags and the Engine DJ one in the library — locked so its analysis won't overwrite it.
  • Detection understands trance: on sidechained tracks the grid anchors to the kick, not the off-beat bass, and doubtful detections get flagged for you to check by ear.
  • New review filters in the list: tracks with silence left to trim, with clipping, and with a grid to review — to polish the collection section by section.
  • Silence trim now re-anchors Traktor cues and beatgrid in the exported file, and the handle magnet snaps to the exact millisecond the music starts.
  • The Beatgrid section now works on two waves, rekordbox-style: the zoomed view where you adjust the grid (it opens zoomed onto the first beat) and, below it, the whole track — press or drag to move the view anywhere, and “Hear the grid” scrolls along with the playhead like a player.
  • The grid lands on the kick in hard dance too: when a long kick and an off-beat bassline confuse the detection, the sub's attack decides the right side of the beat.
  • The peak normalization checkboxes (remove DC offset, normalize channels independently) are remembered across sessions.
v0.53Surgical precisionJuly 13, 2026
  • Deep zoom on the waveforms: pinch the trackpad (or ⌘+wheel) to dive up to ×256 anchored under the cursor. Surco re-decodes the visible window at full fidelity — real detail, not blocks — with a time ruler and taller strips.
  • Finer silence trimming: scissors on the wave itself to apply each cut, click the wave to place the nearest handle, a magnet that snaps to where the music actually starts, and buttons to check each cut by ear.
  • Analysis results now live as pills on each section's header — detected silence, measured LUFS and peaks, estimated clicks — readable at a glance.
  • Bulk actions over the selection: trim every track's detected silence and regenerate their file names from metadata, each in one click.
v0.52Silence, trimmedJuly 12, 2026
  • New Silence trim section: cuts lead-in and run-out silence during conversion. Surco detects it and suggests the cut on the waveform, and you fine-tune the exact edges with two handles — with zoom and arrow-key nudging.
v0.51Clicks under controlJuly 12, 2026
  • Click repair now estimates how many audible clicks a track carries before you convert.
  • Three repair intensities — Gentle, Standard and Strong — in a single control, next to the hear-what-gets-removed audition.
v0.50Hear the repair, read the editor at a glanceJuly 12, 2026
  • Click repair can now be auditioned before converting: it plays 20 seconds from the middle of the track with only the noise it would remove — near-silence means the music stays untouched — along with the share of the excerpt it would touch.
  • Folded editor sections now summarize their state: artist and title, the file name that will be written, the normalization targets or a plain “Off” — and their buttons fold with them.
  • Editor sections can now be hidden entirely from Settings → Editor, and click repair starts folded.
v0.49See each channel, trust the peaksJuly 11, 2026
  • New per-channel view: split the editor waveform into stacked left and right lanes with a toggle.
  • Clipping marks now flag real full-scale clipping, measured sample by sample on the original audio, like Audacity.
  • Search waits for the file's tags to load before firing, instead of guessing from the file name.
  • When the release doesn't show up, search retries without the DJ prefix or with just the lead act before falling back to the bare title.
  • New vinyl click repair: an opt-in stage that detects stylus clicks and pops and repairs them during conversion, with two strengths and a count of repaired clicks.
  • Normalization no longer fails when the loudness target or peak ceiling was typed out of range — they are clamped to the values ffmpeg accepts.
  • Strong click repair no longer stalls the conversion: it runs at full speed with the same effect on long pops.
  • On Windows, the track list and search read the file name instead of the full path.
v0.48Explore the wave and make the editor yoursJuly 11, 2026
  • The loudness section shows the track's waveform from the start, with clipping peaks marked and a preview of how it will look after normalizing.
  • Explore the wave up close: a readout under the cursor, rekordbox-style stepped zoom with horizontal scroll, and a toggle that flags the peaks that would clip with the current setting.
  • The editor sections are yours: drag to reorder them and pick which start folded, from Settings → Editor.
  • The Discogs panel jumps straight to the matched release, without reselecting the track.
  • Search finds the release even when the title drags trailing rip stamps or “presenta” credits.
  • The convert button mirrors the conversion's stages, just like the track row.
v0.47See what normalization really doesJuly 10, 2026
  • New before/after comparison when converting: the source and converted waveforms, with each file's real loudness and peak figures.
  • Two ways to compare: side by side or overlaid, with a slider to fade one wave over the other and spot the difference.
  • Peak normalization can now remove DC offset and normalize each stereo channel independently, like in Audacity.
  • Change the normalization after exporting and the button offers “Update” again — no need to touch a tag.
  • Words to ignore in searches now also apply when re-running a search you had already made.
v0.46You decide where every conversion landsJuly 10, 2026
  • New “Next to the original” destination: the conversion is written beside the source file without ever touching it. Same-format exports take a “(2)” name instead of overwriting anything.
  • The convert button now also lets you pick the destination for just that conversion — folder, Apple Music, Engine DJ, next to the original or overwrite — without changing your Settings.
  • New FLAC option on macOS: show covers in Finder and Quick Look, which normally don't read FLAC artwork.
  • After an export, picking another format from the menu now shows on the button — “Re-export (FLAC)” — so you always know what the next click will write.
  • Clearer Settings: the output folder and the Engine DJ fields live under their destination choice (in the welcome wizard too, which now lets you change the folder), details unfold with an animation, and switching normalization on scrolls its fields into view.
  • Fixed the “Maximum results” setting: the selector rendered clipped and forced a horizontal scrollbar onto the Search tab.
v0.45Search that understands your titlesJuly 9, 2026
  • If you use a title format like “(A2) Title (1998)”, matching now recognizes it: your own pattern is undone when searching and scoring, so a renamed track finds its record on the first try.
  • New Search setting: words to ignore (defaults to “vinyl, rip”). Rip signatures and watermarks in titles are skipped when searching and matching — your tags are never changed.
  • A track that carries its saved Discogs release now auto-matches directly when the title fits, including records that list no durations.
  • The list filter can now split matched tracks by their source: Discogs or Bandcamp.
v0.44Sharper matches, in your own languageJuly 9, 2026
  • Auto-match now tries the release ID already stored on the file before falling back to a title search, landing on the right Discogs release more often.
  • The app's native menu and dialogs now follow the language you pinned in Settings, instead of falling back to your system's locale.
  • Fixed a crash on launch for Intel Macs.
  • A file that already carries its Discogs release now opens straight to that exact disc — auto-match and the search panel stick to it instead of burying it in title-search results, and only fall back to a search when the stored release no longer fits.
v0.43Title patterns and an organized paletteJuly 8, 2026
  • Configurable title format, collectors' style: set a pattern like ({trackNumber}) {title} ({year}) in Settings → Naming and apply it when you choose — to one track from the title field's ⋯ menu, or to the whole selection at once with the editor's T button or the command palette. It never runs on its own, and ⌘Z undoes it.
  • The Naming tab, redesigned: the title format comes first, and both formats carry the editor fields' ⋯ menu for inserting {fields}, sorted alphabetically with a live preview.
  • The command palette (⌘K) groups actions into sections — Metadata, Convert & export, Library… — and search now ignores accents: “titulo” finds “título”.
  • Applying the title format twice no longer doubles the prefix, and the app always explains the outcome: how many titles changed, which were skipped and which empty field was in the way.
v0.42Tags that read clean in every editorJuly 8, 2026
  • Conversions now clean up the tag variants other editors leave behind (LABEL, ORGANIZATION, ALBUMARTIST2…): no more duplicated label or album artist, and emptying a field now truly removes it from the file.
  • WAV files are tagged as ID3v2.3, the version Mp3tag and friends read — and converted files no longer carry the encoder's ENCODER stamp.
  • New artwork option: upscale smaller covers to your configured size. Combined with the square crop, your whole library comes out with identical covers (say, 700×700).
  • The ⋯ menu for borrowing another field's value or fixing text case is now on every free-text field: mix name, remixer, composer, label and catalog number included.
v0.41Crash-safe edits and faster conversionsJuly 8, 2026
  • Your unapplied edits no longer get lost: they are saved automatically as you work, and if the app closes unexpectedly you can reopen the session with everything just as you left it — metadata, covers and matches included. When there is work at stake, the reopen prompt waits for your answer instead of fading away on its own.
  • Bulk converting is noticeably faster: conversions run in parallel across your Mac's cores, converting to the same format is nearly instant, and each track needs fewer passes.
  • The activity panel explains every auto-match verdict: which signals matched, which didn't, and which candidates were probed.
v0.40Google search and shareable statsJuly 7, 2026
  • New editor button to search Google for a track: it opens your browser with the file name already searched, no copy-paste needed.
  • Share your stats: the Statistics tab now generates an image with your lifetime numbers, ready to show off on social media.
  • Double-A-side vinyl positions (AA, AA1) are also kept as the track number when applying a Discogs release.
v0.39Your stats, and faster batch editingJuly 7, 2026
  • The Stats tab now counts all your activity: tracks loaded, played, analyzed and found on Discogs or Bandcamp, next to a progress bar toward your next conversion milestone. All visible at a glance, no scrolling.
  • Copying and pasting metadata between tracks now includes the cover too, and ⌘Z undoes the whole thing.
  • New command to number the selected tracks in list order (1, 2, 3…), made for albums that are not on Discogs.
v0.38Conversion quality, under your controlJuly 7, 2026
  • Choose the quality of every conversion: MP3 bitrate (320 down to 128 kbps, or V0/V2 VBR), bit depth, sample rate and FLAC compression level. Everything defaults to matching the original — maximum fidelity without touching a thing.
  • Conversions keep the source's exact bit depth: a 44.1/16 file no longer comes out 24-bit when normalizing, reducing to 16-bit applies dither, and an MP3 converted to WAV or AIFF yields integer PCM every player accepts.
  • Conversion settings now live in two tabs: Conversion (format and quality) and Output (folder, Apple Music, Engine DJ).
  • Send the originals of already-converted tracks to the trash in one action; bulk actions work on your multi-selection when you have one.
  • Discogs vinyl positions (A1, B2…) are kept as the track number, both in the tags and in {trackNumber} when naming files, instead of being reduced to a plain number.
  • A file already in the output format still updates without re-encoding — but when it doesn't meet your pinned sample rate or bit depth, the editor now offers an explicit re-encode, leaving the original untouched.
  • More comfortable Settings: tabs ordered by workflow, editor fields reorder by dragging (with their internal name shown on hover), and the rating can now name your files.
v0.37Surco in five languages, and matching you can trustJuly 7, 2026
  • Surco now speaks German, French and Brazilian Portuguese, alongside Spanish and English. Pick a language in Settings or let it follow your system.
  • Auto-matching is more careful: an identical title alone no longer tags a file on its own — duration, artist or catalog number has to corroborate it, and otherwise the suggestion is flagged for you to confirm.
  • Discogs search now finds album tracks: when the title doesn't match a release, it searches inside tracklists; and catalog numbers are looked up on their exact field instead of as free text.
  • Save a quality report as a PNG from the editor: the spectrogram with its verdict and cutoff line, ready to share whenever someone asks whether a file is really lossless.
  • First-run setup is down to four steps; file naming, genre shortcuts and editor fields wait for you in Settings.
  • Remove the selected track with Backspace or Delete; the selection hops to its neighbour.
v0.36Replace your old Apple Music copyJuly 6, 2026
  • When a converted track lands in Apple Music, Surco spots the old copy of the same song and offers to remove it: it shows you exactly which one, removes the library entry and sends its file to the Trash, where you can recover it.
  • Batch conversions can be cancelled: while one runs you'll see its progress in the toolbar, and one click there (or the command in the palette) stops it.
  • Serato exports saved to a USB drive now locate the files on import.
  • Re-converting a track Engine DJ already analyzed keeps its analysis: length and BPM are no longer lost.
  • Search results are ranked by relevance, with your preferred provider as the tie-break.
  • Surco checks for updates now and then while it stays open, not just at launch.
  • Dismissing the “reopen your last session” offer — with the ✕ or letting it expire — now counts as an answer: it won't come back on the next launch.
v0.35A clearer export finishJuly 3, 2026
  • When an export finishes, the editor gets to the point: the confirmation with links to show the file or delete the original, and a single row of buttons — Apple Music, another DJ app and re-export.
  • The welcome wizard offers Engine DJ and the destination choice on every platform, not just macOS.
  • The “reopen your last session” prompt now dismisses itself after a few seconds, with a visible countdown — and every notice now eases out gently instead of vanishing abruptly.
v0.34Quieter promptsJuly 2, 2026
  • The prompt for new tracks detected in your folder now dismisses itself after a few seconds, with a visible countdown — and once you decline it, it won't offer you the same files again.
v0.33Straight to Engine DJ (Denon)July 2, 2026
  • New Engine DJ conversion destination: every converted track is registered straight into your Engine DJ (Denon) library, with its cover, rating and a configurable playlist — open Engine and they're there.
  • If Engine DJ is open when you convert, Surco offers to close it and carries on — it never writes to the library while Engine is using it.
  • The “already in your library” badge now follows your destination: it checks Apple Music or Engine DJ depending on where your tracks go, and hides when you only convert to a folder.
  • Exporting to rekordbox, Traktor, Serato or M3U8 now lives in the editor, right where a conversion finishes, instead of a lone toolbar button.
  • After an update, Surco shows you what's new the next time it opens.
  • Removing tracks from the list no longer makes Surco offer to load them back as if they were new.
v0.32Undo, sessions that come back and ALACJuly 2, 2026
  • Undo with ⌘Z: if a batch fill, a find & replace or a clear tramples metadata it shouldn't have, one shortcut puts everything back the way it was.
  • Surco remembers your last session: on launch, a prompt offers to reload the tracks you were working on.
  • Automatic quality analysis (optional): turn it on in Settings and every imported track is analyzed in the background, so suspect files flag themselves without pressing Analyze.
  • New ALAC (Apple Lossless) output format — lossless and ready for Apple Music; and for MP3 you can now choose between 320 kbps and V0.
  • Duplicates filter: find the same song loaded as two files — a FLAC and an MP3, two downloads — and decide which one to keep.
  • Export your list as M3U8, the standard playlist almost any player understands.
  • More day-to-day clarity: a notice when a file's metadata can't be read, Stats shows the current list's progress, and the activity panel remembers its position and now logs imports and exports too.
v0.31Sharper matching and clean-up at a glanceJuly 2, 2026
  • Auto-matching gets more accurate: when a track carries a catalog number, Surco confirms the exact release with it and applies the match without asking you to review it; and between two editions, it prefers the one whose year matches your file.
  • When a suggestion lands as "review", you can now accept it in one step — from the palette (⌘K) or its shortcut — without opening the editor.
  • A button to send every track flagged as suspect to the Trash at once, right beside the quality filter.
  • The player gains a play button over the cover on hover, another to jump to the track that's playing, and 5-second skip back and forward with the arrow keys.
  • More keyboard control: search with "/", clear the search and filters with Escape, step between tracks with Ctrl+arrows while editing a field, and every action shows its shortcut in the tooltip.
v0.30A sectioned editor and a palette that learnsJuly 1, 2026
  • The editor groups fields into sections (Identity, Catalog, DJ and Order) so you stay oriented when many are on; in Settings → Fields, an "Auto-organize" button sorts them into sections in one click.
  • The command palette (⌘K) learns from you: as you type, the commands you use most rise to the top of the list, so your usual one lands under the cursor.
  • Discogs search matches more precisely: when a track carries an artist and title, it queries those fields separately instead of one loose string, finding the right release with less noise.
v0.29Parallel conversion and more from ⌘KJuly 1, 2026
  • "Convert all" now processes several tracks at once instead of one after another, so a big batch finishes far sooner; the Apple Music step still runs one at a time, the way Music imports them.
  • The command palette (⌘K) gains new shortcuts: switch the theme, fill metadata from the file name, clear the selection's metadata, and a direct link to donate (with a little confetti).
v0.28Faster engine, filters that stickJuly 1, 2026
  • Surco now runs on a newer engine (Electron 42, Chromium 148) — snappier rendering for the waveform and spectrum, and the latest security fixes under the hood.
  • The track list's toolbar actions — Find & Replace, Auto-Match, Analyze quality, Fill tags and Empty — act on the visible tracks, never the ones a filter is hiding; while "Clear the list" from ⌘K still wipes everything for a clean start.
v0.27Tidier toolbar, richer Discogs resultsJune 30, 2026
  • The actions that work on your track list — add files, select all, fill tags, find & replace, clear — now live in the list's own header instead of the top toolbar, so it's clear what each one touches. The toolbar keeps only the crate-wide tools.
  • Discogs results are now cards that match your track rows, and each shows more of the release: year, label, catalogue number and format — so it's easier to pick the exact pressing among many.
  • Filtering the list and then converting now only touches the tracks you can see: filter to MP3 and hit convert, and your FLACs stay untouched.
  • Select All and Fill tags from filename now act on the visible or selected tracks, never silently on the whole crate.
  • Find & Replace shows the / / around the field in regex mode, so a pattern like Shake just works instead of being searched literally.
  • Tracks that Surco auto-loads from a watched folder now play straight away.
v0.26A redesigned player and cleaner everywhereJune 30, 2026
  • The playing track's card has been rebuilt: the title now gets its own line so it stops getting cut off, the artwork and controls sit balanced beside it, and the buttons are grouped by what they do — play, loop and waveform, close.
  • The track list and the player now always show the file's own cover, never a different image you're trying out in the editor — and applying a Discogs release only swaps your artwork when you've asked it to.
  • The Discogs search box gains a magnifier and a one-click clear, matching the track filter.
  • Tooltips across the app now match Surco's dark theme instead of the plain system ones, and the toolbar reads calmer with lighter icon buttons.
  • The audio quality spectrum for the track you've selected now draws right away, even while a whole-crate match is running in the background.
v0.25Load new downloads without dragging the folder againJune 28, 2026
  • Surco watches the folders you've already loaded: when new tracks show up (a download finishing, say), it offers to load just the new ones in a click — no need to drag the whole folder in again.
  • The player gains a real volume slider, more precise than scrolling the wheel over the card.
  • Notifications are unified into one tidy stack in the bottom-right, with a discreet bar showing how long until each one clears.
  • Each track's full title now shows in a themed tooltip when you hover its name.
v0.24Follow background work in the Activity panelJune 26, 2026
  • A new movable, resizable Activity panel shows background work as it happens: track analysis, Apple Music library checks and links to the published releases. Open it from the toolbar.
  • The spectrogram gains a crosshair that reads the exact frequency under your cursor as you move across it.
  • The quality verdict reports the real ceiling of high-rate audio instead of stopping at Nyquist, and sharpens Apple Music library matching further.
v0.23Catch more fakes and sharpen your Apple Music libraryJune 26, 2026
  • The quality verdict catches a new kind of fake 320: tracks with a frequency wall hidden behind a few high-frequency spikes that used to pass as good.
  • Apple Music "already in my library" detection is more accurate: it matches on title, artist and duration, remembers the Discogs-proven verdict, and shows a checking state while it resolves — so the list, the filter and the editor always agree.
  • Search spreads results across providers, so a Discogs-heavy query no longer buries the Bandcamp ones.
  • The cover picker no longer shows the same image more than once.
  • A new settings button empties the analysis cache to recompute spectrograms and verdicts from scratch.
v0.22Convert without losing your cues or your tagsJune 21, 2026
  • The spectrogram is bigger and truer to Spek: a codec cut reads as dead air and the highs reach up to 22 kHz.
  • The file picker now accepts folders and expands them just like dropping them in.
  • Find and replace has a match-case toggle.
  • Exporting to Apple Music warns you if a track isn't converted yet.
  • Converting to any format now keeps Traktor's cue points and beatgrid, not just when normalizing the volume.
  • Conversion now respects metadata fields you've cleared: delete a comment or other value and the original no longer comes back.
  • New track-row indicators: the quality verdict shows as a severity icon, and already-converted tracks get a blue check badge.
  • Tracks show up sooner when you drop large or networked folders, and a stalled network file no longer freezes the quality analysis.
  • More accurate Discogs lookups when a track's name starts with a number.
  • The interface stays smooth while you analyze the quality of many tracks at once — the analysis no longer competes with the screen or playback.
  • The quality verdict is better at spotting tracks with a frequency ceiling the codec smeared over.
v0.21Run the whole flow from the keyboardJune 21, 2026
  • The whole workflow is now keyboard-driven: jump between the track list, the search results and the editor, move and page through the list, pick a Discogs or Bandcamp release with the arrow keys, and convert-and-move-on to the next track — all without the mouse.
  • The command palette now jumps straight to any track — start typing its title or artist to find it.
  • Tidier search results: a configurable maximum, with compilations pushed down and the most-owned pressing floated up, so the right release is easier to spot.
  • Hiding the player's waveform now keeps the volume, the elapsed and total time, and a seek bar — so you never lose your place.
v0.20Filter your search results by sourceJune 20, 2026
  • When you search Discogs and Bandcamp together, a new filter lets you show All, Discogs or Bandcamp — and the results are tidier: Discogs releases rank first and each source is capped so the list stays short and relevant.
  • Adding files now shows a live counter and a determinate progress bar as Surco reads each track's metadata, so you can see exactly how far along an import is.
  • New opt-in setting to apply your file-name pattern automatically, so converted tracks are named without a manual step.
  • The player gets a toggle to hide the waveform — handy on a small screen — which also skips the waveform analysis to save the work.
  • Smarter Apple Music library matching: Surco recognises the same track across more artist and title variations — ampersands, dotted acronyms (D.J. vs DJ), leading DJ/Dr./MC handles, spelled-out numbers vs digits, a leading artist before the title and trailing version markers — so fewer of your copies look missing.
  • Better release matching for tracks tagged “(Original Mix)”: Surco drops that trailing marker so a plain catalog title still scores, and multi-track album matching leaves a file unassigned rather than forcing a wrong cut.
  • Cleaner provider searches: Surco leads with the main artist before a “presents” alias and ignores a bracketed version note that only repeats the title, so the right Discogs or Bandcamp release surfaces more often.
  • The editor's in-library badge now lights up when a confident Discogs suggestion matches a track you already have in your Apple Music library.
  • Tidier list filters: each sidebar section is now its own independent filter, the menu closes as soon as you pick, and Unconverted sits under All.
  • Sturdier file handling: Surco reads tags from files other apps choke on and repairs malformed WAV headers instead of failing analysis.
  • Stability: starting a track over no longer leaves the player sounding after its card has closed.
v0.19Export to Serato and Engine DJJune 19, 2026
  • Export your tracks to Serato DJ and Engine DJ (Denon), on top of rekordbox and Traktor: Surco writes the file each app imports.
  • Auto-match now flags uncertain matches for you to review before trusting them, instead of dropping them, and shows each track's match confidence.
  • Fake-lossless detection: a heads-up when a FLAC or WAV is really a lossy source repackaged as lossless.
  • Filter and sort your tracks by format, with a toggle to flip the sort direction.
v0.18Now you can search Bandcamp tooJune 18, 2026
  • Search Bandcamp alongside Discogs: turn it on in Settings → Search and results from both sources merge into a single list, each tagged by its origin — great for self-released tracks, netlabels and exclusives that aren't on Discogs.
  • Auto-match is now a global search setting and can fall back to Bandcamp when Discogs comes up empty (with only Bandcamp it needs no token).
  • Sharper matching for badly named downloads: Surco strips file-name and title noise, pins the right mix, and gives the file's own artist priority.
  • New “Base title” clean-up in the Album field menu: strip the version or mix from a title in one tap.
  • Genres that differ only in case (your “Electronic” vs a source's “electronic”) no longer duplicate — a single pill shows, in your casing.
  • Your existing covers are kept by default: Surco no longer replaces them unless you opt in to swapping out low-resolution ones.
v0.17Search the exact edition, in your languageJune 17, 2026
  • Filter Discogs searches by format — vinyl, CD, digital… — from the new Search tab in Settings, so you land on the edition you actually want.
  • Choose the app's language — System, English or Español — and it's remembered between sessions.
  • Cleaner Discogs results: duplicate editions are merged, and a remix with its tracks reordered still matches the right one.
  • Sharper Apple Music library detection: it matches on whole artist words and on the base title —so it spots a copy saved under the canonical title—, refreshes when you return to the app, and re-adds a track if its library copy is gone. (macOS)
  • Surco warns you when it has to skip loudness normalization because it can't measure the track, instead of doing it silently.
  • Clearer list and editor: Shift-click selects along the visible order, empty required fields are flagged calmly, and the Convert button explains what's missing before it lets you convert.
v0.16Filter by what's already in your Apple MusicJune 17, 2026
  • See at a glance which tracks you already have in Apple Music: all your tracks are matched against your library, with sidebar filters to show only the ones you're missing (or the ones already there) — so you never re-import a duplicate. (macOS)
  • Double-click a track to play it, and double-click again to stop.
  • The list filters are now a single dropdown that never runs out of room, and the position counter — which track you're on and how many are left — stays visible as you switch filters.
v0.15Sharper quality verdict and smoother track workJune 16, 2026
  • The quality verdict has a keener eye: a genuine but dull master is no longer flagged “Review” (good when there's no codec cut), and fake hi-res is now caught — files that claim 48/96 kHz but were upsampled from 44.1 kHz.
  • Auto-match now sweeps all your tracks, prioritizing the tracks on screen, and stops the moment you turn it off.
  • Editor sections you collapse stay collapsed as you move between tracks, and aren't analyzed until you open them — quicker when reviewing lots of tracks.
  • Drag several selected tracks out of Surco at once.
  • Remove from the list or move to Trash every selected track at once from the right-click menu.
  • Drag an image straight from your browser as the cover.
  • The toolbar is reorganized into groups (edit · analyze · convert and export) so every action is easy to find.
  • The cover viewer steps through every image on the track: the one embedded in the file and the ones from the Discogs release.
  • Surco starts up faster and scrolls more smoothly through lots of tracks, and the first play sounds instantly.
v0.14Waveform player and sharper Discogs matchingJune 15, 2026
  • The player now shows the track's waveform: click or drag on it to scrub, with the time floating on top.
  • Continuous playback: when a track ends, the next one in the list plays. Toggle it with the ∞ button in the player.
  • Much sharper Discogs matching: it ignores file-name noise (320, labels, “feat.”…), is accent-insensitive, understands more name formats, and retries by catalog number or title alone when needed.
  • With auto-match on, the track you select is matched on its own — no need to press the button on each one.
  • Dropping files that are already in the list now skips them and tells you, instead of doing nothing.
  • Tagging and “Add to Apple Music” are now available for WAV files too.
  • Adjust the player volume by scrolling over it; the level floats next to the time on hover.
  • Files whose highs were regenerated by an enhancer are now flagged “Reprocessed” instead of “Bad quality”, so a full-but-faked spectrum doesn't mislead.
  • Copy a track's generated file name — from your naming pattern — to the clipboard.
v0.13Copy artwork and tags, drag tracks outJune 13, 2026
  • Drag a track from the list straight into any external app — Spek, Finder, your player — to check it instantly, no exporting first.
  • Copy a track's artwork and paste it onto another: from the button on the cover itself or with ⌘C/⌘V, through the system clipboard (to and from other apps too).
  • Copy a track's full metadata and paste it onto another from the right-click menu — perfect for sharing a release's details across its tracks.
  • Loudness normalization now actually reaches loud targets: the club preset no longer lands short — it applies the exact gain to target and a true-peak limiter holds the ceiling.
v0.12Much more reliable spectrum analysisJune 12, 2026
  • The quality verdict has been rebuilt: dark masters and legitimate 320 kbps MP3s are no longer flagged as fakes for their natural high-end taper.
  • Grading is now absolute, the way a DJ reads it: reaching ~20 kHz is full quality (320 / lossless), 18–19.5 kHz is suspicious and below 18 kHz is bad — whatever the file's sample rate.
  • Surco now spots highs regenerated by audio “enhancers”: a track artificially glossed over a low-bitrate source no longer passes as good.
  • Soft encoder cutoffs (~160–192 kbps) that used to slip through as good quality are now caught and placed where they really are.
  • Reconstructed-highs detection: files “enhanced” from low-bitrate sources (SBR/enhancers) no longer pass as good quality even when their spectrum reaches the top.
v0.11Apple Music, always in syncJune 12, 2026
  • Apple Music sync: re-converting an edited track updates its library copy — tags and artwork — instead of duplicating it.
  • New “Update in Apple Music” and “Show in Apple Music” actions in the editor; if you deleted the library copy, Surco imports it again.
  • Click the artwork to view it full size, at its real resolution — embedded art is pulled from the original file, not the thumbnail.
  • The field menu now also transforms text: Title Case, lowercase or UPPERCASE in one click.
  • While a track plays, the Dock icon animates with a sound wave.
  • Editing several tracks at once now shows only the fields you picked in Settings, just like editing one.
v0.10Built for lots of tracksJune 11, 2026
  • Your edits never get lost: typing while Surco is still reading a slow file, or while auto-match is querying Discogs, always keeps what you typed.
  • Much lighter with lots of tracks: covers are kept as thumbnails (converted files still get the full-resolution art) and memory stops growing over long sessions.
  • Browsing the list feels smoother: BPM, key and loudness analyses wait until you rest on a track, and the one you're looking at always jumps ahead of the ones you left behind.
  • Every editor field can insert another field's value (artist into composer, title into comment…) from its own menu.
  • An amber dot marks tracks edited after converting, so you can see at a glance what still needs an update.
  • The Discogs search remembers what you typed on each track, shows a loading skeleton, and can be retried when it fails.
  • Names with a leading track number ("104. Artist - Title") now import with the right artist and title.
  • Adding several tracks to Apple Music shows its progress and can be cancelled; and when saving settings or trashing a file fails, Surco says so instead of failing silently.
  • Fixed: tracks whose cover was the file's own embedded art converted and landed in Apple Music with no artwork.
  • The player shows a loading indicator when audio takes a moment to arrive (for example, from a network drive).
v0.9Richer metadata and quality in three colorsJune 10, 2026
  • New metadata fields: composer, ISRC, mix, original year and a compilation flag. The composer fills itself from the Discogs writing credits.
  • The quality dot now grades three levels — green, amber and red — so a low-bitrate MP3 dressed up as lossless stands out, with an indicator while the spectrum is analyzed.
  • A button to clear all of a track's metadata, next to fill-from-filename.
  • Each list row shows its source format (WAV, FLAC, MP3…) so what still needs converting is obvious at a glance.
  • Start over in the context menu rebuilds a track from its original file.
  • The Apple Music check also looks up the Discogs-suggested title, catching library copies saved under the canonical name.
v0.8BPM, key detection and free foreverJune 10, 2026
  • BPM and key detection: Surco analyzes every track and suggests the tempo and key as one-click chips, in the key notation you prefer.
  • Surco is now free forever: licensing and limits are gone. If it saves you hours, you can support it with a donation from the Stats tab.
  • New conversion destination that overwrites the original file, with a confirmation before a batch.
  • Text search and sorting in the track list, with album-art thumbnails on every row.
  • The settings folder is configurable: point it at iCloud Drive or Dropbox to share your preferences across Macs.
  • A shortcut to switch the interface language between English and Spanish on the fly.
  • A slim progress bar in the header for long background sweeps.
v0.7A better first run and accessibility throughoutJune 9, 2026
  • The welcome wizard now sets up your output folder, visible and required fields, and teaches you to read the spectrum with a live preview.
  • New “Apple Music only” destination: the track lands in your library without leaving a copy in the output folder.
  • Full accessibility pass: the whole app works from the keyboard, plays well with screen readers and meets WCAG AA contrast.
  • Regenerate a file name in one click using the pattern from Settings.
  • Open audio files straight from Finder’s “Open With” menu.
  • New blue spectrogram palette that’s easier to read.
v0.6Discogs auto-match and rekordbox & Traktor exportJune 8, 2026
  • Auto-match: Surco looks your tracks up on Discogs and applies only high-confidence matches, on import or with a toolbar sweep.
  • Export your collection as a rekordbox (XML) or Traktor (NML) library.
  • Batch quality triage: analyze the whole list at once, badge every track with its verdict and filter the suspect rips.
  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts with clash detection and native menus that update themselves.
  • Per-track properties panel (codec, bit depth, bitrate, tag formats) and a rename dialog built from metadata chips.
  • Redesigned icons and tooltips across the app.
v0.5Star ratings and cover controlJune 6, 2026
  • Rate your tracks with stars; they’re written as tags Traktor, Windows Media Player and foobar2000 understand.
  • Pick the cover from every image the Discogs release has.
  • Artwork resolution is always visible and low-quality covers get flagged with a colored dot.
  • New Discogs release id field in the editor.
v0.4Loudness and normalizationJune 6, 2026
  • Loudness analysis (LUFS) and optional normalization that preserves your Traktor cues.
  • Right-click context menu on tracks and search inside the list.
  • Cancel a batch conversion mid-run.
  • Configurable default genres applied with one click.
  • Optionally send the original file to the Trash after converting.
v0.3Multi-track editing and full albumsJune 5, 2026
  • Multi-selection with bulk editing of shared fields.
  • Match a whole Discogs release against your files, pairing each track by duration.
  • Find & replace across every track’s tags, with regular expressions.
  • Fill tags from the file name in one click.
  • M4A/AAC, Opus and Ogg Vorbis now accepted as input formats.
  • The naming pattern supports subfolders to organize the output.
v0.2StabilityJune 4, 2026
  • More robust importing: hidden files and macOS leftovers are skipped when dropping folders.
  • Better tag reading on files with embedded pictures.
v0.1First public releaseJune 2, 2026
  • Convert to AIFF, WAV, FLAC or MP3 by dragging your files in.
  • Discogs tagging with the most likely match suggested.
  • Spectrum analysis to catch fake lossless before you play out.
  • Send tracks straight to Apple Music, artwork included.
  • Template file names, a command palette, track preview and automatic updates.
  • macOS installs (Intel and Apple Silicon) plus Homebrew.
