Qualityinspector „Audio“
This tool is based on „compute corrected bitrate“ of AudioExpert.
If you only want to check the quality of your files, without having the need of the organizing-features provided by AudioExpert, then this is the best choice.
It offers more detailled options and a deeper analysis, so that you have the full control.

Version 6.0 is now available
This version offers the ability to analyze the loudness normalization values (similar to ReplayGain) and will write them to the ReplayGain tags of your files. The audio data is not changed; only Id-tags are written. You will need a player that supports the ReplayGain tags to apply these values.
Fakin‘ The Funk offers this ability; you can (de-)activate it in the settings-dialog, tab [Replay options]. It is called „apply loudness normalization values when playing a file“
It’s not the older ReplayGain algorithm that is used, but the newer „EBU R 128“ one. See https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3343.pdf for details.
You can either activate the option „Calculate loudness after analyzing files“ in the settings dialog. This will run the analysis directly after adding files to your collection.
Or you can use the right-mouse menu „Analyze loudness…“ in the listview to analyze all selected files or in the treeview to analyze all files of the selected folder.
In all cases you have to specify a target loudness in [db].
Even though EBU recommends a target value ob -23, it seems to me that ReplayGain was targeting something like -18 db. It’s up to you; you can easily change this value – but then you will have to reanalyze all files to make the change effective!
On large collections, when there are a lot of subfolders, building the treeview can be rather slow. Therefore, the settings dialog offers the option „disable treeview on large results“ in the [Display options] Tab.
If you perform a search e.g. for artists or filenames (see search-tipps at the forum (click here)), the tree will be automatically build properly as soon as there are less than 3,000 folders to show
Note:
This setting is only available when there are at least 5,000 files in your database
If you don’t need the treeview at all, you can simply disable it in the settings dialog, Tab [Display options]. If disabled, all files will be shown in the Listview. Please also refer to the search tipps at the forum (click here).
This settings was available also in the last version, but internally the tree was still built which resulted in a bad performance on large collections; this is fixed.
Version 5.3 contains an important bugfix:
When using the „userdefined tagging action“, all metadata (tags, embedded images) of the selected files (except the modified tag) were removed.
New column „bps“
The tag „bpm“ is imported and can be edited manually
Version 5.2 comes with a bunch of new features and fixes
You can edit the columns for Artist, Album, Title, Comment etc. in the listview.
In addition, the userdefined actions (see settings dialog) support modifying tags for selected files in many ways, e.g.
tag:set comment FAKE $realbitrate kbps
This will overwrite the comment tag with sth like: ‚FAKE 128 kbps‘
tag:prepend comment FAKE
This will put the text ‚FAKE‘ in front of any existing comment (space will be added automatically if necessary)
tag:append comment FAKE
This will add the text ‚FAKE‘ to any existing comment (space will be added automatically)
For mpeg/flac/ogg files, the new column ‚vendor‘ will be filled -> This will show the used encoder name. However, since this value can be changed easily manually, this is only a ‚friendly indicator‘
(Requires to rescan the files)
The columns for the calculated replaygain (track/album gain) are also back! (Requires to rescan the files)
However, there is no way to calculate the gain values from within this app.
A new column ‚picturecount‘ is available and will show the number of embedded images. (Requires to rescan the files)
New Option ‚Show coverart‘ (settings dialog) will show the embedded pictures and allows adding, removing and reordering images.
When selecting multiple files in the listview, coverart will be added or removed to/from all selected files.
You can choose whether to show the coverarts in a docked sidebar or in an undocked, standalone window.
The values for ‚channelmode‘ and ‚vbr‘ for mpeg files will be calculated properly again (Requires to rescan the files)
The column ‚filename‘ is editable and will rename the file if changed.
Moving to a different folder is not supported, therefore the column ‚filename & path‘ is readonly.
New option to disable & hide the player panel
You can swap the shortcuts (Cmd+Delete / Cmd+Shift+Delete) in the settings dialog
The settings dialog offers a new option to allow replacing single files using drag&drop.
When activated, you can drag a file onto an existing one in the listview. The new file will be renamed accordingly and if untagged, the tags from the old file will be applied.
Executing an external application like mp3tag on windows did not work, bug is fixed.
If the app was placed on a 2nd monitor on the left side of the main monitor, restoring the form did not work properly.
Version 5.1 contains some smaller enhancements and bugfixes
