Stop Playing Low-Quality Rips. As a DJ or producer, your sound is your brand. You can’t afford to play a "high-quality" track that’s actually an upscaled, low-bitrate rip. dRIP provides the technical clarity you need to ensure every file in your library is club-ready. Whether you are digging through new promos or cleaning up your Rekordbox library, dRIP gives you visual certainty - on the go. Using advanced spectral analysis, you can identify frequency cutoffs and distinguish between a true lossless file and a fake "320kbps" render in seconds. Core Features: Precision Spectral Analysis: View high-resolution spectrograms to see the exact frequency range of your audio. Share Sheet Integration: dRIP straight from the iOS Share Sheet. Inspect files directly from your browser, cloud storage, or messaging apps without opening the main app. Batch Inspection: Save time by inspecting multiple files at once. Perfect for vetting large downloads or new record pool hauls. Designed for Professionals: Built with a focus on both aesthetic and function by DERMANO, specifically for DJs, producers, and audiophiles. Detailed Metadata: Get instant readouts on sample rates, bit depth, file size, and channel configurations. Why dRIP? In an era of WhatAapp and Telegram DJ pools quality varies wildly. Don't let a 16kHz cutoff ruin a high-end sound system. dRIP is the essential tool for the modern technical DJ. -DERMANO

RIP DJ is a spectrogram tool for DJs. Drop in any track — MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG, Opus — and RIP DJ analyzes its full spectrum on your device.

Share the spectrogram image with track metadata to any app. The FFT runs entirely on your phone. No uploads, no accounts, no analytics. Files you analyze never leave the device. The app makes no network requests at all. https://www.ripdj.com/privacy https://www.ripdj.com/terms
