MediaMonkey

[bmc]

Manage a music library consisting of small to very large collections (50,000+) of audio files and playlists, whether they're located on your hard drive, CDs, or a network. Organize, browse, or search music by Genre, Artist, Year, Rating, etc., and never waste your time trying to find mp3s you know you have. Automatically identify tracks that are missing information, whose tags are not synchronized, or that are duplicated elsewhere.

MediaMonkey is the music organizer for the serious collector.

Synchronize with Portable Audio Devices in seconds. Simply configure MediaMonkey once, and then click the Synchronize button to synchronize tracks and playlists with a broad range of portable devices. With Volume Leveling, the tracks will even play back on your device at consistent volumes!

Try MediaMonkey if you want an iPod-like experience with other portable players.

Record CDs to your hard drive with fast on the fly encoding, using a number of high-quality digital audio formats (using the OGG encoder, the LAME MP3 encoder, or the WMA encoder). MediaMonkey's CD Ripper rips the CDs, automatically fills in track properties via freedb, and adds the files to your music library.

Convert audio files from almost any audio format to OGG, MP3, WMA, or WAV files, and preserve tag information when converting from OGG, MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, FLAC or MPC! The MP3 converter, OGG converter, WMA converter and WAV converter can also be used to convert from other audio formats using input plug-ins.

Fix Tags with Automatic Lookup and Tagging of album art and other track information from Amazon. Lookup CD information on Freedb or via CD-TEXT, and find missing track details through music-related sites such as Allmusic.

If you have a large music collection, MediaMonkey will help you update your tags quickly and accurately.

Tag music with a simple yet powerful interface using industry-standard formats. MediaMonkey includes an MP3 Tag editor (an ID3 tag editor supporting ID3v1 & ID3v2), an OGG tag editor (for OGG and FLAC files), a WMA tag editor, an APE2 tag editor (for APE files), and a WAV tag editor. Update and correct mislabeled tracks via drag-and-drop from one artist/genre to another or use the categorization toolbar allows you to quickly set ratings, mood, and other information as you're listening to music. Automatically and intelligently tag files based on filenames with the Auto-Tagger.

The serious music collector can also assign a broad range of more advanced attributes, such as composer, original year and album, and lyrics.

Automatically organize and rename files on your hard drive into a logical hierarchy. Instead of storing your files haphazardly all over your hard drive, MediaMonkey's auto-organizer can organize them into folders and filenames of your choice based on attributes such as artist, album, track title and track number.

If you have a music collection exceeding 10,000 files, MediaMonkey is the music organizer for you.

Create Playlists with ease. Simply drag and drop your tunes to mix mp3s and other files from your Library, or create basic AutoPlaylists to automatically generate a mix based on the criteria that you define. Most importantly, your playlists remain intact even when you rename files and/or retag them.

Export playlists to m3u files, in case you wish to use them with other players.

Whether creating a DJ mix, MP3 Playlist, or a casual party mix, MediaMonkey helps you do it with ease..

Burn Audio CDs reliably via the integrated burner powered by hpCDE. Just select any tracks or playlists and quickly create CD masterpieces using the most reliable CD burning engine around.

If you're a serious audiophile, MediaMonkey gives you all the control you'll want.

Create Statistics and other Reports of your music collection as Excel, html, or xml files, so that you can show it to others.

Customize MediaMonkey using standard scripting tools to integrate it with other applications such as sound editors, create customized reports, customize the view, or create custom playlists such as Two from each album. You can download scripts created by other users, or write your own; either way, you can easily extend MediaMonkey's functionality.

i started using this player tonight and i found out that it is a great tool for organizing your music into folders, just add you music to its library, select the songs and right click on em and hit auto organize files. this player/organizer has many geat features and it uses less memory than itunes but offers similar features. It is free, but there is a pay version that offers a couple extra features

overal i give it a 5/5 :good job: :good job:
