Archive-wide insight
Build a clearer picture of large audio collections through scanning, metadata analysis, and relationships between files.
In active development
A considered home
for serious audio archives.
AudioCanon is an intelligent desktop archive system designed to help collectors understand, organize, and trust the music libraries they have spent years building.

01
Purpose
Your archive is more than a folder of files. It is a body of knowledge—editions, sources, alternate versions, careful tags, and years of decisions.
AudioCanon is being built to make complex audio libraries more legible. It will examine files and metadata, identify useful relationships, and help reveal duplicates or inconsistencies that are difficult to see by hand.
The system is intended to support judgment, not replace it. Recommendations will be transparent, uncertainty will be acknowledged, and changes will remain under the collector’s control.
02
Core principles
Precision, without presumption.
A set of working principles guiding every part of the application.
Human review first
Surface findings and recommendations for review. Uncertain decisions remain visible instead of being hidden behind automation.
Archival integrity
Respect the collection you have already built. The goal is greater confidence and order—not careless, irreversible change.
Collector-grade detail
Treat releases, variants, tags, and provenance as meaningful parts of the archive rather than incidental metadata.
