A Henry Doce Project
Platter · In Development

Your music library is a mess.One Mac player puts it in order.

The same album scattered across folders, covers wrong, FLACs faking hi‑res. It plays the local files you own, and never changes one without your say-so.

The round-trip you do forever.

If you own your music, you know this loop by heart.

App one
Where you fix it
Tags, album art, the messy folders. You sit here and clean.
App two
Where you listen
The player you actually live in. It can't fix anything.

Add one album and you're making the round-trip all over again.

What I'm building
One app you own

A native Mac player with the library layer built in. You fix a file and play it in the same place.

It never changes a thing without your say-so.

Every change is reversible. Apply a fix, change your mind next week, put the file back exactly as it was.

What keeping your files in order means.

The library layer fixes the things that make an owned collection feel broken. All of it on files you already own, none of it required.

Verified album art

The right cover, at full resolution, on the right release. No more grey placeholder squares or a single mismatched front.

covers from Cover Art Archive

Synced lyrics

Time-aligned lyrics attached to the track, so they scroll with the song in the player instead of living in a browser tab.

Catches files that lie about quality

A lossy rip dressed up as 24-bit FLAC. An upsampled file padded out to look hi-res. It reads what's really in the file, not the tag, and flags the ones that don't match what they claim.

One view shows the whole library by real resolution: hi-res, CD quality, or lossy.

iTunes-style sync, without the iPod

Check off artists, albums, or playlists for each device (a DAP, an Android phone, a USB drive) and sync exactly that. Taking an album off a device never takes it out of your library.

One player for the FLAC folders, the rips, the whole scattered library.

Your plays, your history.

Every song you play gets counted, wherever you listen.

The Mac player

Your iPhone

A scrobbling device

One listening history
open and portable, yours to keep
your plays live in ListenBrainz
It outlasts any one app

The history lives in the open, under your account. Change players or devices and the history stays yours, whole.

Common questions.

Will it edit my files without asking?

No. The player proposes every change and waits for you to approve it. Nothing is written to a file until you say go, and any approved change can be undone. Your originals stay intact.

What does "reassembling an album" actually mean?

When one album's tracks are scattered, a few from a deluxe rip in one folder, the rest of the standard in another, a single mixed in elsewhere, it's technically the whole album, just filed as strangers. The player puts it back into one album with the right tracks in order. You approve the result, and nothing you want to keep is deleted.

How does it know a "hi-res" file is fake?

It decodes the file and checks the actual sound. A real hi-res track has detail up in the high frequencies; a CD upscaled to hi-res has dead air there, and an MP3 dressed up as 24-bit has nothing in the extra bits. When the sound doesn't match what the file claims, it flags it.

What does it run on?

A native player for your Mac, with a companion app for iPhone. The iPhone streams your library off the Mac, and whatever you play on either gets logged into one shared history.

What will it play?

Your local files. It's being built lossless-first: FLAC, gapless, on the Mac's native audio stack. The MP3s a real collection accumulates play right alongside.

Why is it called Platter?

The platter is the part of a turntable the record sits on. Same job here: the music you own, in one place, playing. Built to be owned, offline, and to outlast us.
