About Spectro 1.1.1 for macOS
Spectro 1.1.1 is a native macOS app that checks whether your audio files are truly lossless or only pretending to be. It is made for DJs and audiophiles who keep large music libraries and want to know the real quality of every track before they play it or trust it in a collection.
Fake lossless files are a common problem. A low quality MP3 can be saved as a FLAC file, and the file will look lossless in your library even though the sound is not. Spectro looks at the audio itself, using spectral analysis to find where the sound really cuts off, and then gives each track a clear verdict.
The app is built for real libraries. It can batch scan thousands of files at once, so you can check a whole folder of music in one run instead of opening files one by one. It runs fully on your Mac, with no account and no internet needed, so your files never leave your machine.
Spectro is not a plugin. It is a standalone Mac app that works with your Finder and your music folders. You point it at a library, it scans the files, and it shows you which tracks are truly lossless, which are fake, and which sit in the middle. That makes it a quality control tool for anyone who cares about sound.

Core Features
Spectro gives you a simple workflow around one question: is this file really lossless? The app scans the audio, looks at the frequency spectrum, and turns the result into a verdict you can act on. You can then sort, clean, or replace the files that fail the check.
- Verdict engine that scores each track as LOSSLESS, FAKE, or MEDIUM
- Spectral cutoff analysis based on published research
- Batch scanner for folders with thousands of files
- Support for WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and Opus
- Finder native workflow for Mac libraries
- Full offline use with no uploads and no account
- Clear spectrogram view to see the cutoff yourself
The app is useful before a gig and before a purchase. A DJ can scan a library and drop the fake files before a set, so every track played is the real quality it claims to be. An audiophile can check new purchases and keep only the files that pass, so the collection stays honest over time.
