Your genre policy, not ours.
Use a vocabulary that fits your library. [golgi.] makes the policy explicit so the result remains yours.
Provenance-first DJ preparation
[golgi.] is the local-first workspace between discovering a track and trusting it in your Rekordbox library. Bring in playlist intent or music you own, inspect local analysis, review every proposed change, repair library problems, and stage the final handoff without turning your crate into a black box.
The way through
Import a supported playlist link, an exported playlist file, or music you already own. [golgi.] keeps source intent attached to the tracks that follow.
Compare the queue with your library, open verified store links, then sweep purchased files into a reviewable intake.
Choose files from anywhere and convert copies into an output folder you control, or derive BPM, key, and energy while format and spectral checks surface uncertainty. Originals stay put.
Listen in place, compare current and proposed metadata, edit comments, inspect artwork and evidence, then approve, correct, or dismiss each result.
Library doctor surfaces duplicates, broken paths, and file-quality concerns. Quarantine actions are explicit, journaled, and undoable.
Use the existing Rekordbox XML hierarchy as guidance, approve intelligent-playlist routes, and hand Rekordbox an exact playlist containing only the settled batch.
Why [golgi.]
Use a vocabulary that fits your library. [golgi.] makes the policy explicit so the result remains yours.
Quality checks and metadata suggestions are estimates. You can see what they saw before you accept a change, and approved mutations retain an undo path.
Core library preparation stays local. Optional connections are deliberate and scoped: metadata lookups query music catalogs, and guru runs on your own Anthropic key — each only when you use it.
Workflow
[golgi.] keeps discovery, owned audio, analysis, review, repair, and Rekordbox staging connected without pretending they are one irreversible automation.
01 / Intent
Start from a supported link, an exported playlist file, or a local folder. Already own the files? Enter here without rebuilding the story around them.
02 / Owned audio
Sweep an inbox or choose a folder. Source state stays legible, and appearing on disk does not silently change the Library.
03 / Analysis
BPM, key, and energy are proposed from files on your machine. The standalone Convert page accepts audio from unrelated folders, writes copies to any chosen destination, and never moves originals.
04 / Review
Listen while comparing title, artist, album, genre, comments, BPM, key, energy, rating, artwork, and intelligent-playlist routes. Approve, correct, or dismiss before a write.
05 / Library health
Library doctor finds file-quality concerns, decoded-audio duplicates, Rekordbox record collisions, and broken paths. File moves use explicit confirmation, quarantine, operation journals, and undo.
06 / Rekordbox handoff
Read-only Rekordbox XML preserves playlist context and guides genre routes. Pre-Import writes an exact playlist for only the settled batch; Rekordbox remains the authority for its Collection, beatgrids, cues, and USB sync.
Pricing

Official product and pricing materials checked August 10, 2026. Prices use each vendor's listed currency and may change. “Not advertised” means no equivalent claim was found in the cited official materials, not that a capability is technically impossible. Product focus and workflow differ; this is not a winner score.
Market watch
These are strategically relevant, but they are not counted as mature like-for-like products in the matrix above.
A Pro license is not a subscription. The version you buy remains yours; the core remains available without a paywall.
FAQ
No. [golgi.] is a preparation and curation tool for music you have the right to process. It does not host or distribute audio.
Apple Silicon, Intel Mac, and 64-bit Windows are the supported targets. Public installers will appear here when [golgi.] launches.
Yes. [golgi.] stages playlists and genre crates for Rekordbox import. Pre-Import creates an exact playlist containing only the settled batch, so Rekordbox does not need to scan or reanalyze the whole Library.
The core preparation workflow operates on your machine. Optional metadata lookups and guru guidance make scoped requests only when you choose to use them; they do not upload audio files.
They are assistance, not authority. [golgi.] keeps those results reviewable so you can accept, correct, or leave them alone.
No. Founding Pro is a one-time $69 license for the first 100 seats. Standard Pro is $99 one-time after those seats close.
