The app cant find my library path

Make sure the folders readable and youve got permission to create subfolders. AudioSort stores its database under %APPDATA%/AudioSort/ on Windows.

📸 Suggested screenshot: settings window showing the library path selector. Save to assets/faq-library-path.png and reference with ![Library path settings](assets/faq-library-path.png).

My waveform preview looks flat

Waveform previews rebuild whenever files change. Try Rescan Library or tweak any bit of metadata to force a refresh. If the files mostly silence, the flat preview might actually be accurate.

📸 Suggested screenshot: waveform list before and after a rescan. Use assets/faq-waveform-refresh.png with ![Waveform refresh](assets/faq-waveform-refresh.png).

Duplicate groups look wrong

Duplicate detection uses MD5 hashes of the raw audio data. If two files sound the same but still dont match, double-check their sample rate and bit depth — or normalise them externally before importing.

📸 Suggested screenshot: duplicate results panel highlighting checksum matches. Store as assets/faq-duplicates.png and embed via ![Duplicate groups](assets/faq-duplicates.png).

Organise File sent stuff to weird folders

The organiser bases folders on the first UCS category in the file. Check your category assignments and make sure the UCS catalog entry matches where you want it to go.

Can I use formats other than WAV?

Nope. AudioSorts pipeline is WAV-only so metadata stays consistent. Convert other formats to WAV before adding them.

Wheres the UCS catalog stored?

The app ships with data/UCS.csv. On first run, it also copies that file into your user data directory for safe keeping.
