Crate Cleaner flags every explicit track from Spotify's own label data and from your titles, groups the clean and explicit versions of a song together, and gives you a one-click clean-event filter, so the wrong edit never reaches the speakers at a family gig.
Why it matters
Wedding and corporate DJs get fired over a single explicit track, and until now Serato gave you no way to know which tracks were clean. Crate Cleaner marks every track and lets you filter a crate down to clean-event-safe in one click.
Two signals
Titles lie and tags are blank, so Crate Cleaner uses two signals with a clear order of trust. Spotify's own explicit flag, captured when a playlist track matches a file you own, is authoritative and catches explicit tracks whose titles say nothing at all. Version tokens in titles fill in the rest.
When a Spotify track matches your file, its official explicit flag transfers. This catches the explicit tracks a title would never reveal.
Dirty, explicit and clean markers in a title or filename, parsed the same way the matcher reads versions. Never overrides the Spotify flag.
Version families
Crate Cleaner groups the radio, extended, clean and remix versions of a song into one family. Crate rows show how many other versions you own, and when an explicit track has a clean sibling in your library, the Pre-Gig Check names it, so swapping the dirty version for the clean one is a single decision, not a search.
How it works
The flags are computed in the background from data already in your library and your Spotify matches. No files are read and nothing is written.
