First release.

Install

Download TrackForge-1.0.0-x64.msi below and run it. Windows 10/11 64-bit.

Nothing needs to be on your machine first:

  • No .NET install — the app ships self-contained.
  • No yt-dlp or ffmpeg install — TrackForge downloads them itself the first time you
    open it (about 40 MB, into %LOCALAPPDATA%\TrackForge\tools, no admin rights).
    Settings → Install / update tools re-runs it, which is also how you keep yt-dlp
    current when YouTube changes something and downloads start failing.

The MSI is unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn on first run — More info → Run anyway.

What it does

Grab — paste links or a whole playlist, review the tags it found, download at
320 kbps with cover art, BPM and key filled in.

Library — scans your music folder and shows what's missing: no art, no year, no
genre, no BPM. Filter to the broken ones and fix them in bulk from iTunes, Deezer and
MusicBrainz.

Find — search YouTube for tracks by name and feed the links straight into Grab.

Worth knowing

BPM detection is written from scratch. Measured against tracks Algoriddim djay had
already analysed: 3 exact, 1 octave error, 1 genuine miss out of 5. Good enough to
sort a library by tempo, not good enough to beatmatch on blind. Run
TrackForge.exe --selftest to see the numbers on your own files.

Tag writes go straight to disk. There is no undo, so leave Overwrite off on bulk
operations unless you mean it.
