The Complete MP3 Manager
This program contains a suite of tools to help keep your entire music collection, whether it is large or small, in top condition. It will automatically go through all of your MP3 music files and intelligently extract the correct information such as artist's name and song name and then rename them appropriately (correcting minor mistakes as it goes along) and update or add the ID3 Tag with the correct information. Other tools include a Playlist Manager which will highlight and search for missing entries and features an 'Auto-Tidy' function. Then there is the Duplicate Finder to help find wasted disk space in duplicate MP3's even if the filename is different. Also, HTML and Text Publishers for publishing your collection on the web (or to print out) to your specifications and with a range of available information to include as column headings for your lists from the ID3 Tag and MP3 header. Included is also a built-in music player, or you have the option to use your favourite player such as Winamp or Sonique. Extra features include en masse ID3 Tag change for Artist, Year, Comment AND Genre, and a sort feature to organise all your MP3's into separate folders. Quite simply, you will never need another music management program. The Complete MP3 Manager aims to save you enormous amounts of time and greatly improve the organisation of your music collection. Our Review: MP3 Manager is a huge concept program that ambitiously organizes mp3 files on your computer. It manages fairly well, with a good set of options and extras to make alterations and archiving easier, but still trips in the end when file names and ID Tag info become too random and unordered, meaning some work for the user. However, the search and tagging options save the user hours of hassle when clear patterns exist, and when a little thought and preparation are administered. While undoubtedly a powerful application X-treem suffers a little from its immense size. Despite the huge download I still had problems with the VB6 runtimes and the interface at times seemed to crack under it's own weight. Still, if you like 'em big and strong instead of fast and easy X-treem MP3 manager is worth a look.
