The same track twice: your MP3 and your music video
You bought the MP3 years ago; later your video pool delivered the video. The names rarely match, and the video is many times the size.
Why this pair gets skipped
Comparing names and tags can't connect those two files. Comparing the sound means pulling the audio out of the video first.
How CrateKeeper matches them
It pulls the audio out of the video and listens to it against your MP3. Where the two differ, like a censored word, the row marks the spot.
Two videos are never cleared on sound alone
A clean video and a dirty video can carry the same audio while the pictures differ. So two videos are always left for you to decide.
Keeping both is fine
Some DJs keep the MP3 on purpose, to play visuals over it. Only the pairs you tick are cleared, and only after you confirm.
What clearing the MP3 does
- The video takes the MP3's place in every regular crate that held it.
- If the video has no cue points, the MP3's cues move onto it first. If it has its own, those stay, and you can tick a box to add the MP3's cues to its empty pads.
- Your library is backed up and checked first. The MP3 goes to your Mac's Trash, and Undo puts it back while it's still there.
