Reading the setlist: the marks, the rows and checking every track

By Ryan Poser, who builds ryser.idUpdated 14 October 2026First published 27 May 2026

The short answer

Every row of your setlist is one track at the time it starts, with a mark that says how sure ryser.id is: Proven (the record was lined up against the mix and fits), Found (more than one part of the mix agrees), Weak (only one part, a doubted version, or another source disagrees), To check (heard, but not sure enough to count) and Unknown (no name yet). Tap a row to play the set from there, open it to edit, and use Check every track to confirm the set row by row; your answer then becomes the row's mark.

In short

The marks: Proven, Found, Weak, To check, Unknown. Once you check a row: Checked, Version fixed, Version unknown, Edited or Not correct.
On a phone: Tap a row to play the set from it. Its last button opens everything about the track. Press and hold to select tracks.
On a computer: Click a row to play from it. Enter plays the focused row, E edits it, N jumps to the next unknown, U undoes.
Fix a track: Open the row, Edit, search the right record or type it. Or let Check every track walk you through the set.
Unknown rows: They are watched: when one gets a name later, you get a mail.

The marks

Every row carries one mark. Before you check anything, it is ryser.id's own word on the row:

Mark	What it means
Proven	The record itself was lined up against the mix, and it fits.
Found	More than one part of the mix agrees on this name.
Weak	Only one part of the mix, a doubted version, or another source names something else here.
To check	Heard, but not sure enough to count. Listen, then Correct confirms it in one tap.
Unknown	No name yet. These rows are watched: you get a mail when one gets a name.

Once you check a row, your answer becomes its mark: Checked (you confirmed it), Version fixed (right song, you corrected the version), Version unknown (right song, version not known), Edited (you named another track) or Not correct (it is not this track, and the row becomes unknown).

An unknown row in your own set can also say why it has no name: Probably unreleased, Low confidence match, Multiple matches, or Not scanned (that part of the set was never checked; run the set again to scan it). On a computer, hover the mark to read the reasoning behind it.

A row, part by part

Time: where the track starts in the set.
Cover, artist and title. On a computer the cover plays the original release; on a phone, open the track for it.
BPM and key, measured from the set. Switch the key between Camelot (8A) and classic (A min) in Customize view.
Platforms: tiles that open the track on your streaming platforms, your main one first.
Buy: where the record is sold, such as Bandcamp or Beatport, or a free download where the artist offers one.
Want: puts the record in your crate, your list of records to get.
Other names: what other sources heard at that moment. Use this takes one of them; add as row keeps both. Amber means the sources disagree.

On a phone

Tap a row to play the set from that track.
Its last button opens everything about the track: the original, the version, where to buy it, and Edit.
Press and hold a row to select tracks, then add them to your crate or export them.
The strip at the top is the whole set: drag along it to play from anywhere.

On a computer

Click a row to play the set from it. The timeline beside the rows is the whole set: hover a track to find it, click or drag to play from there. Hover a key to light the keys that mix with it: green for the same key, one number down and the relative key (8A with 8B), amber for one number up, the energy boost. Rows whose key clashes fade. The Camelot wheel explains the moves.

Key	Does
Space	Play or pause
← →	Back or forward 5 seconds
↑ ↓	Previous or next track
j k	Move the focus between rows
Enter	Play the focused row
E	Edit the focused row
N	Jump to the next unknown row
U	Undo the last change
Esc	Close what is open under a row

Check every track

Check every track walks you through the set one row at a time: it plays that moment of the set and the original, and asks one question, is this the track? It is free on your first set; after that it comes with Opener (€2.50 a month) and up, and the checks you already gave stay.

Correct confirms it (on a phone, swipe right).
Not correct says it is another track (swipe left); name it, or leave it unknown.
Wrong version opens the version picker: choose the remix or edit you hear, search for another, or keep the song with I don't know the version.
Edit names another track; Skip moves on.

On a computer the keys are Y (correct), V (wrong version), N (not correct), E (edit), S (skip), ← → to move, Space for the original, U to undo and Esc to go back to browsing. Your checks only teach the next set once you have listened, so play the track first. At the end you get a summary of what you confirmed and what is still open.

Fixing a track

Open the row (on a phone its last button, on a computer Edit or E), search for the right record or type artist and title, and save. Every change can be undone, and a correction teaches the next set that plays the same record.

Exporting

Select tracks (or all of them) and choose Export: M3U8 for Serato, Traktor and most players, CSV, or Copy as text for a description or a comment. Send to Spotify and more puts the list in a playlist on Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, YouTube Music and more through Soundiiz. Exports and sending come with Opener (€2.50 a month) and up. The rekordbox XML export is offline while we rebuild it. Exporting a DJ setlist has the details per program, and Mix CD to Spotify playlist shows the whole way from an old CD to a playlist.

Questions

What is the difference between Proven and Found?

Proven means the real record was lined up against that part of the mix and it fits: the audio itself proves it. Found means more than one part of the mix named the same track, without that extra alignment. Both are strong; Proven is the strongest.

Should I trust a Weak or To check row?

Listen first. Weak means only one part of the mix named it, the version is in doubt, or another source names something else. To check means ryser.id heard a name but is not sure enough to count it. A Correct after listening makes it Checked.

What does Version unknown mean?

The song is confirmed, but which remix or edit plays there is not. It is what a row says after you keep the song and choose I don't know the version. Pick the version later and it becomes Version fixed.

Why does a row say Not scanned?

That part of the set was never checked, because the recognition service did not answer for it. Run the set again to scan it.

Where does a track's name come from?

From the audio, or from you when you fixed it by hand. ryser.id takes no names from 1001Tracklists or from earlier analyses of the same set. On a computer, set Row detail to Full detail in Customize view and each row shows its source. How ryser.id identifies tracks explains it.
