Tune Check Asks Whether Your “320” Is Really 320

Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based audio checker that scans MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, and Opus files for signs of upscaled, falsely labelled audio.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

The checker accepts batches of up to 20 files and inspects their decoded frequency content in the browser rather than uploading the audio. It can process several common lossy and lossless formats, while AIFF and ALAC are excluded because the page says Chrome cannot decode them. Red results may include a frequency-height badge, and only the track name is sent to the catalogue for files that fall below 320.
