Crates reference files
Moving a track after scanning can affect a crate’s file reference even though the scan itself is read-only.
For Serato workflows
Find duplicate and low-quality files while keeping your Serato crates safe.
CrateGuard focuses on the audio files your Serato setup uses, helping you spot duplicate music and compare copies before you change a working crate.
The trial includes full scanning and analysis. Move & delete require activation. · No account · No uploads · No risk to your prep work
Read-only. Your cues, grids, and metadata are never touched.

⚡ ReadyA clean folder is not automatically a safe crate change.
02
Markers are preparation
Cue and marker work should remain outside the scope of an audio duplicate scan.
03
Copies hide across folders
Pool downloads, edits, backups, and archive folders can hold the same music under different names.
What stays safe.
Your Serato data stays outside the scan.
CrateGuard does not edit Serato crates, markers, cues, loops, or tags during scanning. It analyzes audio locally and gives you a report. Activated file actions are deliberate and should be checked against active crates first.
- Read-only. Your cues, grids, and metadata are never touched.
- Runs on your machine. No internet. No data sent. No accounts.
- No. CrateGuard groups potential duplicates for your review. Moving files or sending them to Trash requires activation and your explicit decision.
- Duplicates grouped and ranked. Nothing moves without your say.
Keep crate management and audio matching in their lanes.

Questions & Answers
Does CrateGuard modify Serato crates or markers?
No. Scanning is designed to read audio without modifying Serato crates, markers, cues, loops, or file tags.
Should I move a file that is in an active crate?
Only after checking the crate reference and your backup. Scanning is read-only, but an activated file move changes the path Serato may rely on.
What can I do during the trial?
You can run full scans, review duplicate groups, compare quality details, and inspect results for 14 days. Move and delete actions require activation.
