Automated quality control for metadata, audio and artwork so your releases are always ready for every store.
The problem
Cover art with hidden text, misspelled tracks, silent intros, version tags written the wrong way, audio that doesn't match the artist. Every rejection is a release that misses its date, a campaign that loses momentum, and a catalog team that has to chase a fix instead of moving forward.
Manual review doesn't scale. It's slow, inconsistent between reviewers, and the rules change every quarter as stores update their guidelines.
Without limbo/Beat
With limbo/Beat
The solution
limbo/Beat takes a release — cover, metadata, and audio — and runs a full quality pass against the rules that actually matter to the stores you deliver to. You get back a structured report with every issue flagged, ranked, and explained.
It runs the same checks the same way for every album in your catalog, so the reports you hand to your label managers are consistent today, tomorrow, and a year from now.
Flags explicit content, embedded text, format and policy issues.
Verifies titles, ISRCs, version tags, P-line and C-line, parental advisory, language, and featuring credits.
Catches typos and broken text across titles and credits, in Latin and non-Latin scripts.
Detects leading or trailing silence, long intros, unwanted gaps, and spoken passages that affect store playback.
Catches clipping, codec artifacts, and lossy re-encodes that fail store specs.
Matches your audio against a global music catalog to surface covers, samples, shared beats, and prior releases.
Flags whether a track was created with generative AI, so releases can be labeled in line with current store policies.
A multimodal AI reads the full report and the cover together, cross-checking every finding against an up-to-date library of store delivery rules — catching false positives a single check would miss.
How it works
01
Hand off the album with its cover, metadata, and audio files. One request per release.
02
Image, metadata, and audio checks run side by side. You're not waiting on a queue.
03
A structured report lands back with every finding, severity, and the suggested fix. Plug it into your catalog tool, your delivery flow, or your reviewer dashboard.
