From a messy folder to a clean library

Point Vesari Stylus at your music folder and it does the heavy lifting - a pile of loose files becomes a browsable, good-looking library, with just a few taps from you to finish the job.

What happens the moment you scan

Add a folder and the scan reads what's already inside your files, so most of your library fills itself in:

Tags you already have - artist, album, title, track number, year and genre are read straight from the files and used to organise everything.
Artwork - cover art embedded in a file, or a cover image sitting in the same folder, shows up automatically.
Format labels - each track is labelled with its format, so you can see at a glance what's FLAC, MP3, AAC, WAV and so on, and which files are lossless.

The Vesari Stylus Home screen. Four counts run across the top: 54 Tracks, 100% Lossless, 4 Hi-Res, and Library Health 54. Below them a featured album, Cathedral of Halos by Compass Horizon, is labelled FLAC, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, Country. A row headed Recent from Local Tracks holds four album tiles, each with cover art and an artist name beneath it. Two of the tiles carry the same Quiet Beacon cover, credited once to Ada Marlow and once to Marlow, Ada. — The Home screen after a first scan.

For a well-tagged collection, that's often the whole story - you scan, and you're done.

What needs a small nudge

Older or hand-ripped folders are rarely perfect. When something's missing, the app points you to the fix instead of leaving you to hunt:

Missing or wrong tags, or missing artwork? Run Super-Tag. It identifies your tracks - even by their audio fingerprint when the tags are blank - then fills in clean, consistent details and pulls matching cover art for you.
Duplicates and other issues? Open Library Health. It scans for problems and tidies duplicate copies, keeping the highest-quality version of each track.

The Library track list, with title, artist, album, genre, duration and format filled in on every visible row. The format column reads values such as 44.1kHz/16bit, and a few rows carry an HR badge. A banner across the top of the page reads 9 duplicates hidden, with a Show button beside it and a Review duplicates button at the right. The count above the list reads 45 tracks. — The Library list, with duplicates flagged above it.

Your first fifteen minutes

Add your music folder and let the scan run. Watch tags and artwork populate.
Browse what landed - most albums will already look right.
Spot the gaps - anything with a blank cover or odd names.
Run Super-Tag on the albums with missing or messy tags to fix details and artwork together.
Open Library Health to tidy duplicates and flagged issues.

That's usually enough to turn a chaotic folder into something you're happy to scroll through.

A note on the power tools

Super-Tag and Library Health are the heavy lifters. The Free version lets you try both on your own library so you can see what they do, with a limit on how much you can run in one go. Pro lifts that limit and lets you tag and tidy your whole collection in bulk.

Playback itself is never limited - Free plays your entire library, in full quality, for as long as you like.
