Anyone using Paul's Maestro Music management system?

Hi Mark,

First, a quick check on your end: are the 24/96 FLAC copies stored in the same folder tree you added to Maestro, or a different location? Maestro only sees folders you’ve added as sources, so if the FLACs live elsewhere, adding that folder brings them in.

If both versions ARE under scanned folders, try this: open the Duplicates view in the left sidebar, and also search for one of the affected album titles. If the FLAC versions show up there, they were scanned fine and the album view is choosing the wrong version to display — that’s ours to fix, and I’d like your logs to confirm it: Help menu → export logs, and send the file my way. If they don’t show up at all, the scanner set them aside or never saw them, and the logs will show that too.

Either way the logs settle it in minutes. One thing I’ll say: if it turns out Maestro is preferring an MP3 over a 24/96 FLAC of the same album, that’s exactly backwards for what this platform stands for, and it’ll get fixed fast.

Thanks Paul, just sent you a log. All folders involved are in the folder on the NAS that was scanned. I had searched duplicates, the FLAC versions were not there.

I reset the library and quit the app, killed the cloudflared instances that were still running and deleted the appdata Maestro folder. Then restarted the app, added the network share and scanned the source yesterday, it’s still scanning this am.

I do seem to wind up with multiple instances of cloudflared running that either a restart or manual kill is needed to stop.

Thanks.

Seems that there is great progress. What about the Android app? Any plans? Thanks in advance

Is there a new ETA for Prism DSP ? I want to subscribe to Maestro but I need DSP

It seems Ella Radio is now only loading one track instead of a station. Happens with “old” stations that were saved as well as with a newly described station. attaching a pic of the error code that shows up. Let me know if you want logs or if this is a known issue.

@paul I’m now at v182 on Windows. I WIPED and rescanned my local files, track order on DSD albums is still incorrect. Track length on local FLAC albums is still missing.

I now see some sort of message in the upper left corner of the application every so often, looks like:

7708 ops -Refreshing.. -88s

Is this debug/trace output?

I am very interested in trying out Maestro. I exclusively use my IPAD. I haven’t used my desktop in years. Any idea when it will available for IPAD/Iphone ?

Sorry about that. Can you email me a log?

What version are you on?

Hi Mark, never got the log.

That’s weird Paul, here is what I sent:

ust reran the log and am sending the latest log.

Thanks!

Maestro v11.0.182 · July 6, 2026

Doh! I was looking for it in my email. It’s in support. Ok, got it.

Found it. You’re right. Quit and refresh. Should work now.

One more set of tweaks before you try again. Give me another 20 minutes. Sorry.

Sorry Paul - stays stuck on “shaping the set” in the message box and still only adds 1 song to the queue. The other thing I now notice - the play counter advances at 6 or 7 second intervals (not one at a time)

All good - let me know…

My punishment for rebuilding it. Once we get Ella back running right you’ll be amazed at what she’s up to. I listened last night for about 4 hours and it was beautifully done, lots of great tracks I’d never heard, good pacing, arc, variety, and amazing SQ. A bit of whack a mole right now so apologies but it better get fixed tonight because I am planning on breaking open a new bottle of sauvignon we’ve been wanting to try and enjoying the warm (but smokey) evening.

Give it another 30 minutes and try again but be sure and quit and restart.
