- The page says uncertain track matches wait in a review queue instead of being logged as confirmed.
Field notes
The described setup uses an amplifier’s REC OUT, tape out, or LINE OUT, so the device is not placed between the source and speakers. Its local index is built from the listener’s own collection; for unfamiliar tracks, the page describes optional recognition services selected and ordered by the owner. It also estimates remaining stylus life from recognized vinyl playback time and the cartridge’s rated life.
