8.5. Remote Tracks and Find Online

A shared track may participate in planning even when its audio is unavailable locally. Harmonic DJ keeps that state explicit instead of showing it as a missing file or silently removing it from the candidate pool.

Find Online uses available identity metadata to open a MusicBrainz recording or search, a descriptive Beatport search, or a SoundCloud search. This is a lookup convenience rather than a purchasing, downloading, or matching service.

When you legally obtain the audio, add it through the ordinary Library workflow. The local track becomes the canonical playable record; there is no separate manual-link path that bypasses normal analysis.
