Explorer / Curator

Review songs one by one without losing flow.

Explorer mode is built for focused listening and fast decisions: rate, tag, assign status, add notes, define the next action and move to the next song.

Review queue

A focused review flow

Explorer mode turns a large library into a manageable review queue. Instead of staring at thousands of files, you work through one song at a time and make useful decisions.

  • Load a queue from the library.
  • Review by status, selection or custom criteria.
  • Listen inside the app.
  • Save and continue.
  • Skip for now.
  • Go back to the previous song.

Decisions

Decide what each song needs

Every generated track can become something different: a release candidate, a radio track, a DAW rescue, a model seed, a useful fragment or an archive item.
