Find the right tracks
Browse the collection and crates, then build a focused preparation queue.
01 / The challenge
The problem worth solving.
A large DJ library can spread preparation across folders, playlists and specialist tools. Crate Companion brings the collection, track review and preparation decisions into one workspace while respecting the DJ’s existing work.
02 / Kliqnet’s contribution
What we brought to the project.
- Native Mac application and collection workspace
- Local audio and video library scanning
- BPM, key, genre and cue review workflows
- Crate organisation and set planning
- Prepared-copy export with preview and backup safeguards
03 / The experience
How the work connects.
Review before applying
Inspect analysis and suggestions, with manual control over preparation decisions.
Prepare for the room
Plan sets and export prepared copies, preserving original media and existing DJ work.
04 / A considered decision
The thinking behind the build.
Automation should support the DJ’s judgement. Original files and existing preparation are protected, with review and backups around changes.
05 / What was delivered

An installed Mac pilot that brings collection browsing, preparation and set planning together. Analysis and export remain reviewable; this is not a public download release.
