Privacy and storage
Your music stays where you put it
Audexis reads music from the folders you select. Library browsing and playback use those local files; adding a folder does not upload the collection to a hosted library.
Saving tags, artwork, or lyrics changes the source file. Playlists, favorites, listening history, and view preferences are stored separately as app data.
Local app data
The app stores its library in SQLite and preferences through its settings store in the platform’s application-data location. The exact location depends on the operating system and app identifier.
Library records include paths, indexed metadata, artwork, playlists, favorites, and listening activity. Settings include choices such as watched folders and display preferences.
The current desktop source uses settings.json for its settings store and
audexis_main.db for the library database. These are implementation
names, not a stable export format; they can change between builds.
Features that use the internet
- Metadata lookup searches iTunes using the search terms you submit.
- Cover lookup downloads artwork from the provider’s image servers.
- Lyrics lookup searches LRCLIB using the entered song information.
- Update check to see if there is a new verision of audexis available.
Logs and support
Error logs can contain local paths and diagnostic information. Review the material you choose to share with a bug report. You usually do not need to share a full library database or audio collection to describe an issue.
