Question 1

What is Obscurity Mode?

Accepted Answer

A ranking switch that inverts the usual bias. With it on, we demote records with high play counts, big-label backing and heavy circulation, and promote small pressings, unknown artists, B-sides and releases with low Discogs ownership. It does not change what matches. It changes what surfaces first.

Question 2

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Release, label and pressing metadata comes from the Discogs API. Previews play through official YouTube embeds. Acoustic characteristics are computed from files you upload and from legally available preview clips. Our data sources page lists all of it in detail.

Question 3

Do you host the music?

Accepted Answer

No, and we never will. We do not download, extract, cache or store audio from any third-party platform. Every result links out to Discogs to buy and to YouTube to listen.

Question 4

Can I upload my own files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Drop an audio file into the search field and we analyse it to build the reference profile. The file is deleted after analysis. We keep only the extracted numbers, and nothing you upload is ever shared or redistributed.

Question 5

What formats do you accept?

Accepted Answer

MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, M4A and OGG, up to 50 MB per file. If a file fails it is almost always a lossless rip over the limit. Convert to 320 kbps MP3 and it will go through.

Question 6

How does matching actually work?

Accepted Answer

Each record carries scores across six dimensions: groove, mood, energy, atmosphere, rhythm and texture. The overall match is a weighted combination of those plus a small metadata component. Groove and mood carry the most weight, because they predict whether two records sit together better than genre or tempo do.

Question 7

Can I export to Rekordbox or Serato?

Accepted Answer

CSV export is available on every paid plan and imports cleanly into a spreadsheet or a library manager. Native Rekordbox XML and Serato crate export are on the roadmap for Pro DJ.

Question 8

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes: 20 searches a month, basic results and one tracklist, with no card required. Obscurity Mode and unlimited tracklists start on Digger at €9 a month.

Question 9

What is the refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancel any time; access runs to the end of the paid period. EU and UK consumers have a 14-day withdrawal right on new subscriptions, first yearly plans carry a 14-day money-back window for everyone, and billing mistakes are refunded in full. Details in the Refund & Cancellation Policy .

Question 10

How do I cancel?

Accepted Answer

From your account, in two clicks. Cancelling stops the next renewal and your plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for. No email, no retention call.
