Carat is a lightweight, automated GUI utility designed to accept Dolby Atmos music releases in practically any format, locate the primary title in the release, retrieve metadata and cover art from the internet, and incorporate the release directly into your digital music library in a single click.
From the moment a new Blu-ray arrives in your mailbox, Carat handles the entire pipeline—extraction, processing, metadata acquisition, and cover art—with zero friction. If your source files are already on your SSD, Carat will process an entire release in a minute or two (depending on the speed of your computer). If you are starting from a physical disc, the time is limited by the read speed of your optical drive (expect five to ten minutes).

Pine Player prevents damage of sound quality by having a high-powered Audio Queue for processing excessive amount of digital data. Therefore, it takes a considerable amount of memory compared to other music players.
5. Automatic Isolation of Damaged Sound Sources
Pine Player has an automatic isolation function for damaged sound sources called Vault. If a damaged sound source is detected while playing the music, the music is stopped and taken to the Vault file for isolation.

Even with all these functions, Pine Player is a free app. Moreover, there are not any marketing or advertising material. Especially, no information including personal ones are sent to the outside or the Internet.
