Add Music Shipped

Get new files into your library and into the right crate, without the drag-and-drop dance.

New music arrives in a Downloads folder, in a zip, or on a USB stick, and getting it filed properly is the boring part. Add Music imports files or whole folders into your music directory and assigns crates in the same step.

It also installs a Finder Quick Action, so you can right-click files anywhere on your Mac and send them straight to your library without opening the app.

What it does

  • Files or folders. Point it at a folder and it finds supported audio recursively, however deeply it is nested.
  • Move or copy. Move files into your library folder, or copy them and leave the originals where they are.
  • Crate on import. Create a dated crate, add to an existing crate, or import with no crate at all.
  • Every common format. mp3, m4a, aac, wav, aif, aiff, flac, alac and ogg.
  • Right-click from Finder. The Add to EZLibrary Quick Action imports the selection using your saved defaults.
  • Scriptable. The same import runs from the CLI, so it can be wired into whatever else you use.

How to use it

  1. Choose your source

    Select the files or the folder you want to bring in.

  2. Pick move or copy

    Move keeps one canonical copy in your library folder; copy leaves the source untouched.

  3. Choose a crate

    A dated crate is the default and makes new music easy to find later.

  4. Import

    Files are placed in your music directory and registered with Serato.

Install the Finder Quick Action once with /Applications/EZLibrary.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/install-finder-quick-action.sh. Its behaviour is configured with the EZLIBRARY_ADD_MODE, EZLIBRARY_ADD_DESTINATION and EZLIBRARY_ADD_CRATE_PREFIX environment variables.
