How It Works
Two services, two different paths — both designed to make your music library exactly what you want it to be.
Whatever services you choose, two things happen first.
First,you'll set up an account with your name and email address. That's it — just a name and an email. We will never send you junk, and we will never share your information. It does two simple jobs: it identifies you, so every bit of work you do with us stays saved in your personal dashboard and is there when you come back to it; and it gives us a way to reach you if you ever need support. Nothing more.
Second,you'll point us to the folder that holds the music on which you want to work. We simply count what's in it. That headcount tells us the size of your collection, which is how we set the price for the service you've chosen. We do not copy, store, upload, or keep any of your music — we're only counting it. Your files stay right where they are, untouched.
With those two things done, you're ready. Here's how each path works. And of course, if you choose both services, your music will be classified first, as shown below, and then your duplicates will be segregated according to the description below.
One quick thing to check first. GenreFix works on music files stored on your computer, an external hard drive, a thumb drive, or a local server (such as a NAS or Plex running on your network) — any location where the actual audio files are physically accessible from your machine. It can't reach music that lives only in a streaming service like Spotify or Apple Music streaming, and it can't work on files kept online-only in the cloud, because in those cases there's no real file for us to read or tag. The good news: if your music is synced and downloaded to your computer — even from a cloud service — you're all set. It's only pure streaming and online-only files we can't work with.
Genre Classification
GenreFix analyzes every artist, album, and track in your library and assigns each one a genre based on what the music actually sounds like — not what a record label called it. You get a detailed report and genre tags written directly to your audio files, with artist names and album titles cleaned up to your preferred format as part of the process.
GenreFix works with any music player — iTunes, Apple Music, Windows Media Player, foobar2000, MediaMonkey, Winamp, Plex, and others. Simply point GenreFix at the folder where your music files are stored.
Click “Select Folder” on the Get Started page, choose your music folder in the browser dialog, and GenreFix reads your file names and metadata directly. Nothing leaves your computer at this stage.
If you purchased Report + Auto-Tag, download the GenreFix Tagger — a small script that has your final, reviewed classifications baked in. Run it locally on your computer and it writes the corrected genre tag directly into each audio file on your machine.
Your music player reflects the updated genres the next time it reads your library — no manual work required, and nothing leaves your computer except the genre tag that gets written into each file.
Duplicate Finder
Duplicate Finder scans your music folder and its subfolders directly, identifies every track that appears more than once, selects the highest quality copy in your preferred format of each duplicate set, and moves the rest to a folder called !GenreFix Duplicates — automatically. Nothing is ever deleted.
G:\Music or /Users/yourname/Music). Set your format preferences — which format to keep when two copies of the same track exist, such as FLAC over MP3. Then check the authorization box confirming that GenreFix may read and move files within that folder.After payment, download the GenreFix Mover — a script with your folder path and format preferences already built in. Run it locally on your computer.
The script applies the quality hierarchy: lossless always beats lossy (reduced file size); within the same format class, your stated preferences apply; then bitrate; then file size. It moves all lesser copies to !GenreFix Duplicates inside your music folder and saves a fully normalized and structured results file when it finishes.
Nothing in that folder has been deleted. Review the contents at your own pace and permanently remove what you don't want to keep.
The folder sorts to the very top of your music library because of its "!" prefix — it will always be the first thing you see in any alphabetical file listing.
