With support for all major audio formats, an easy-to-use interface, and advanced features like spectrum analysis and playback, it ensures you know exactly what you're listening to.
FAQ
The processing speed depends on your HDD and CPU. For example, on an i7 with SSD, it processes 1,000 files in 40 seconds. On the same machine with a SATA drive, it takes 72 seconds. USB drives will be significantly slower.
No, Fakin' The Funk? does not modify the content of your files. However, if you select options like renaming, copying, or moving files when saving results, the file may be renamed, copied, or moved accordingly.
Fakin' The Funk? supports common formats like MP3, MP4/M4A, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, WMA, AAC, ALAC, MPC, SPX, SFX, TTA, and WAV. It cannot process DRM-protected files, and files shorter than 0.5 seconds may cause issues.
There is no hard limit. The tool has been tested with 60,000 files and worked smoothly. You should have no problems with 100,000 files or more.
A defective file is marked when there is a noticeable difference between the song length in the file's header and the actual length calculated from the audio frames. This could indicate a header bug or a file that stops playing prematurely.
The analysis is very defensive, so if a file is reported as 'fake,' there is a very high chance something is wrong with it. However, computing a 100% accurate bitrate from the audio stream is not possible, so false positives might occur.
Yes, the free version is available at no charge. It can detect up to 100 fake files. To unlock all results or support development, you can purchase the full version for €15.99, which includes lifetime updates.
