Why Own the Set
Your playlists are where your sets start. Own the Set turns them into tracks you own and can play live, in less time and for less money than doing it store by store.
It saves you an evening
Buying a playlist by hand means a browser tab for every track: search each store, check it’s the right mix, check the format, compare prices, then remember what you’ve already got. Own the Set does that for the whole playlist in minutes, and hands you one list to buy from, store by store.
It starts with what you own
Your music folders and your DJ software (Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, Engine DJ, VirtualDJ, Lexicon and Apple Music) are checked first. A track you already have costs nothing and stays off the shopping list, and a track in three playlists is on your shopping list once.
It finds the right version
A playlist often has the radio edit; a set needs the Extended or Original Mix. Own the Set looks for the club version, never swaps in an edit without asking, and tells remixes by different people apart. If you’d rather have another mix, open it on the store to listen, then plan that version instead.
It holds out for DJ quality
WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC or MP3 320 first. MP3 256 or iTunes’ 256 kbps AAC when no WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3 320 download is on offer, and you can switch that off. Files you own below DJ quality are flagged for an upgrade.
It finds tracks where you might not look
A label’s own Bandcamp page, a free or name-your-price download, a whole EP that costs less than its tracks, or a second-hand CD for a track no store sells as a download. You don’t need to know where to look.
It does the record pool maths
Mark what’s in your pool (DJCity, BPM Supreme, ZipDJ or Digital DJ Pool). If you subscribe, those tracks cost nothing in the plan. If you don’t, it shows whether a month’s subscription would pay for itself on what you still need.
You stay in charge
Own the Set points you to each track’s page on the store. You buy it there, at the store’s own price, and tick it off on your shopping list. The app itself never buys, downloads or rips anything. Decisions you make, like keeping a file you own or setting a track aside, stay until you change them.
It’s private
It runs on your Mac. No account, no server and no tracking: your playlists, library and choices stay on your computer. The privacy page lists every service it contacts and why.
What it costs
It’s free during the beta, with limits. After the beta there’ll be a free version with those limits and a one-off licence that removes them, not a subscription. Second-hand CD prices from Discogs stay free in every version.
