AudioAuditor
What it is
AudioAuditor is a free, open-source toolkit for audio analysis and playback on Windows and Linux. It checks audio for characteristics such as fake lossless files, AI-generated audio, MQA, fake stereo, and clipping, and lists support for 35 formats across lossless, lossy, and specialty categories. Analysis options include spectrum, spectrogram, waveform, loudness, dynamics, and phase or channel difference views; waveform and spectrogram comparisons can be stacked, overlaid, or wiped. The built-in player offers native 96/192 kHz playback, a 10-band parametric EQ, spatial audio, and synced lyrics with karaoke highlighting. Integrations include Discord Rich Presence, several scrobbling services, and music-service slots. Analysis runs locally without telemetry or analytics, and optional network features can be disabled with Offline Mode. The opt-in SH Labs AI detection is an exception: it sends the complete audio file through a Cloudflare proxy to the SH Labs API. AI-generated music detection is in beta and is intended as a lead, not a final determination.
For and against
For
- Free, open-source toolkit with no paid tiers
- Supports 35 audio formats
- Analysis runs locally without telemetry or analytics
- Built-in player includes EQ and synced lyrics
Against
- AI-generated music detection is in beta
- Opt-in SH Labs detection uploads the complete audio file
- Windows app is not code-signed and may trigger SmartScreen
The verdict
AudioAuditor combines file checks, analysis views, and a built-in player in a free toolkit. Users should treat its beta AI-music results as preliminary and note the separate upload behavior of opt-in SH Labs detection.
Who it suits
AudioAuditor may suit audiophiles, producers, and collectors who want local audio inspection alongside playback tools. It is also relevant to users who want to compare visual audio analyses or check file characteristics.
