Welcome

Welcome to GenreFix

GenreFix gives you two professional tools for organizing your music collection. Before you choose where to begin, read through what each tool does and what it will ask of you. Neither process is complicated — but both work best when you know what to expect.

Start here — required for both tools

Step 1 for everything: Run the GenreFix Standardizer

Before you use either tool, you need to run the GenreFix Standardizer on your music folder. The Standardizer is a small program you download and run directly on your computer — no internet connection required once it is downloaded.

It normalizes artist names, album titles, and folder structure throughout your entire collection. Without this step, the results from both the Genre Classifier and the Duplicate Finder are far too unpredictable to be reliable — mismatched spellings and inconsistent folder layouts will cause artists to be missed, duplicates to go undetected, and genres to be applied incorrectly.

When you click the button below, a small program will download to your computer. Double-click it and a window will open asking you to select your music folder. Once you select it, the Standardizer runs automatically. When it finishes, come back here and choose your tool.

Now choose what you would like to do

You can do both — most users classify their music first, then clean up duplicates.

Tool 1

Classify My Music

Every artist in your collection is analyzed and assigned an accurate genre using The Structural Ear — a 120-genre system built around what music actually sounds like.

1
Download and run the Standardizer

Click the Download button above. A file will save to your computer. Double-click it, and a window will open asking you to select your music folder. Once you select it, the Standardizer runs automatically. When it finishes, come back here and continue.

2
Select your music folder

Open the Genre Classifier and point it to your music folder using the standard file browser on your computer — the same way you would open a document or photo.

3
AI classification

GenreFix then classifies each artist according to the Structural Ear. Depending on the size of your collection, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours. Classification runs in your browser, so keep this tab open. If your computer goes to sleep, it will stop — before stepping away, set your computer to never sleep while this runs (Windows: Settings → System → Power & sleep → Sleep → Never. Mac: System Settings → Energy Saver → Prevent automatic sleeping → On). Remember to turn it back on when done.

4
Review your report

You receive a complete report showing every artist and their assigned genre. Review each one and override any classification you disagree with before moving on.

5
Tag your files

Download the GenreFix Tagger — a double-click desktop app. Point it at your music folder and it writes the new genre tags directly into your audio files. Nothing is deleted. Only the genre field changes.

Tool 2

Find My Duplicates

GenreFix scans your collection, finds every duplicate track, keeps the best quality copy, and moves the rest into a separate folder for your review. Nothing is permanently deleted.

1
Download and run the Standardizer

Click the Download button above. A file will save to your computer. Double-click it, and a window will open asking you to select your music folder. Once you select it, the Standardizer runs automatically. When it finishes, come back here and continue.

2
Select your music folder

Open the Duplicate Finder and point it to your music folder. GenreFix scans every audio file. Nothing is moved or deleted at this stage — this step only reads your files.

3
Review the results

You will see a full list of every duplicate found, which copy was kept (always the highest quality in your preferred format), and exactly what will be moved. You review everything before anything happens.

4
Segregate the duplicates

Confirm and GenreFix moves the duplicates into a clearly labeled folder called "!GenreFix Duplicates" inside your music folder. Nothing is permanently deleted — you can open that folder and remove it yourself whenever you are ready.
