Downloaded file names

New downloads use this pattern. Available tokens: {artist}, {title}, {album}, {track} and {source}. Existing tracks keep their names until you run the rename action under Maintenance.

Hardlink duplicate tracks across playlists

Identical tracks are hardlinked across playlists: same bytes, no second download. A quality difference pauses the track so you can link it or fetch a fresh copy. Cross-drive links fall back to a normal download.

Prefer official sources before community mirrors

Official catalogue targets run before rippers and community mirrors. The per-source order still decides inside a tier; a FLAC request keeps its quality filters either way.

Higher values finish large playlists faster but hit every source harder. The limit covers playlist and manual downloads together; the next run uses the new value.

Developer

Advanced mode

Show advanced options and technical details

Adds the longer notes and extra fields on the settings and import screens. Leave it off for everyday use.

Interface

Display

Show the file column on playlist tracks

Shows the file behind each track, archive copies included.

Logging

Database activity

Show database activity in the logs

Logs every SQL command. Turn it on only while debugging a database problem.

Maintenance

Library maintenance

Repair the facts, tags and file names of tracks that are already on disk. These actions never change the audio itself.

Audio facts

Re-measure bitrate, sample rate and size, then run the quality check again. Missing files are queued for a new download.

Tags

Fill missing cover art, lyrics, release credit and album name. Existing tags and embedded artwork are left alone.

File names

Apply the download name pattern to tracks already on disk. Tags and audio stay untouched.

Current pattern {artist} - {title} Change

File links

Reconnect files that are already in a playlist folder, including old MELODY_ID tags, and find numbered duplicates left by a re-added playlist.
