For anyone who loads music onto a device they own
Your files travel. Cloud art doesn't.
The artwork you see in Apple Music isn't in your files. Move your collection, plug in an iPod, play through Sonos — and covers disappear. Private Press scans your entire collection, digs for high-quality replacements, and writes artwork permanently into your audio files. No subscription. No cloud dependency. Yours.
Free for 25 albums. Pro for the whole collection.
You already know
something's off.
The grey squares.
Missing covers. 300px thumbnails from when you first ripped the disc. Art that lives in Apple's cache — not in your files. Transfer them anywhere else and it's gone.
The MP3s you meant to replace.
You went lossless years ago — mostly. But somewhere in there, 128kbps rips are sitting next to hi-res FLACs. Albums where half the tracks don't match.
The slow drift.
A genre spelled two ways. A year pulled from a filename. Three copies of the same album that don't know about each other. Small things — until you have thousands of them.
What it finds. What it fixes.
The full picture of
every album you own.
Artwork, audio fidelity, metadata, duplicates — scanned, scored, and fixable. Built on Apple frameworks. Zero dependencies.
Dig through 6 sources.
iTunes, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Spotify, Tidal, and your own files — ranked by confidence. Album name, artist, edition, track count, release year. Not "best guess." Best match.
Your collection, scored.
Every album scored across artwork resolution, audio fidelity, and metadata completeness. A priority list surfaces what needs attention first. A shareable stats card shows how clean your collection is.
Pressed into your files.
Format-aware writes for MP3, FLAC, AIFF, and M4A. Atomic operations with rollback on failure. Your audio stays bit-perfect. Your art stays permanent.
Every bitrate, classified.
Hi-Res Lossless, Lossless, High Quality, Low Quality — per track, per album. Flags mixed-quality albums. Finds upgrade paths.
40+ genre corrections. Every field checked.
Inconsistent genres, missing years, blank track numbers, whitespace drift. Current vs. suggested diffs. Fix one at a time or fix hundreds.
Duplicates, sorted.
Same album, different versions. Compares quality, track count, and artwork. Recommends which copy to keep.
How it works
Scan everything. Fix what matters.
Press it in.
From your collection to every device you own.
Scan
Private Press reads your Music library and scores every album — artwork quality, audio fidelity, metadata completeness. Problems surface to the top.
Fix
Dig for better artwork across 6 sources. Clean up metadata. Spot duplicates and quality mismatches. Review everything before a single byte changes.
Press
Artwork writes losslessly into your audio files. Metadata writes back. Music.app picks up every change. Your files now carry everything — to any device, any player, any future Mac.
For the iPod revival
Art that travels with your files.
Streaming services keep your covers in the cloud. When you load music onto an iPod, a Sonos, or move to a new Mac — those covers disappear. Artwork goes directly into the audio files — permanently. Wherever your music goes, your art goes with it. No internet required. No cache to rebuild. Just your files, complete.
