Get started

Three steps take you from a download to a prepared library.

1. Install CueRithm. Download the release for your system and open it.
2. Learn the window. A sidebar, a track table and a persistent player.
3. Add your music. Drop files in, or point CueRithm at a folder. Each track is analysed and moves into your library by itself.

What you need

Systems	macOS on Apple Silicon (signed and notarized), Windows x86-64 and Linux x86-64 (both unsigned). There is no Intel Mac build.
Audio formats	MP3, AAC (ADTS and M4A), ALAC (M4A), FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, Opus and WMA. Protected media is not supported.
Internet	Not needed for analysis, cues, playlists or cleanup. Only the optional catalog tagging contacts Beatport and Traxsource.
Extra software	None. The audio decoder is bundled inside the app. You never install FFmpeg, Python or a codec pack.
Disk	CueRithm keeps your music where it is. It stores a library database, caches and original-file backups in its own data folder.

Two things worth knowing first

Tracks are not moved

"Incoming" and "Tracks" are states inside CueRithm's library, not folders on disk. Preparing a track never moves or copies your audio file. See Incoming and Archive.

Analysis happens once

A prepared track keeps its results until you choose Analyze again. Changing settings does not silently rewrite finished tracks.
