Fakin' The Funk? 6.0.164 Mac download

Lossless audio files are only useful if they contain real high-frequency data. Too many tracks on the internet are upsampled from lossy sources, wasting space without the quality. Fakin' the Funk? for Mac is the tool that catches them. It runs a spectral analysis on the audio stream, compares declared bitrates to the actual content, and shows you the frequency cut-off visually. It also finds damaged or unreadable files before they waste your time.

Just mount the disk image, drag it into Applications, and launch it. The app works on OS X 10.15 Catalina and later, both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

Drag from Finder, iTunes, or any file manager

Fakin' the Funk? sits alongside your existing audio tools without getting in the way. You can drag files straight from Finder, iTunes, or any file manager onto the app window. Results are text-based, so you can paste them into a spreadsheet or a text note if you need a record of what passed and what didn't.

The automatic rename, move, and delete actions integrate well with folder-based workflows. Point the app at your master library folder, let it flag the bad files, and have it move the suspects to a quarantine subfolder automatically. Clean library after one pass, no manual sorting.

Small details that save time

• Batch analysis covers all your files at once. Drop a folder with thousands of tracks and walk away. The app works through them without needing a file-by-file review.
• Built-in player for suspicious files. No need to open a separate app to audition a flagged track. Click and listen right there to confirm if the file is really bad or just borderline.
• Drag-and-drop results management. After analysis, grab any file in the results list and drag it to another folder or app. No digging through Finder to find it.
• Interface in twelve languages. Swap between Russian, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Traditional Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, French, Swedish, or Japanese. Good for teams or shared machines.

Works with macOS features you already use

Fakin' the Funk? slots into the standard macOS file system without extra setup. The app respects macOS metadata and extended attributes, so files it processes keep their tags, album art, and Finder comments intact. If you use Smart Folders to organize your music, you can point those folders at the results and let the app scan whatever the Smart Folder shows.

The built-in player uses the system audio routing, so it works with any output device you have configured — AirPods, a DAC, or studio monitors. No separate audio driver or kernel extension needed. The drag-and-drop support extends to the Finder sidebar and any app that accepts file drops, like Audio Finder or Swinsian.

Easy-to-miss features

• Compares declared vs actual values. The app reads what the file claims its bitrate and sample rate are, then checks the audio stream itself. A 320 kbps MP3 that is really 128 kbps padded up gets flagged immediately.
• Spectrum display for each track. The frequency cut-off graph shows you exactly where the audio data ends. Real 24-bit files show content above 20 kHz; fake ones cut off sharply lower. You see the proof, not just a pass/fail label.
• Batch actions with confirmation. Before the app renames, moves, or deletes anything, it shows you a summary of what will happen. You can review and cancel if the results are unexpected.
