## Full description

Spectro runs a full FFT on each file's audio rather than trusting its extension, then returns a LOSSLESS, MEDIUM or FAKE verdict with the detected cutoff frequency and a one-line diagnosis. It processes everything on the Mac with no uploads, account or internet connection, and can watch a folder so new downloads are checked automatically. Results can be written to Finder as color tags, so problem files stand out the next time you open a folder.
