MP3 Library Management

Written by Ren West on May 22nd, 2009

I have a large collection of MP3’s. 70G and 14,000 files large. For a while I used Winamp. Then moved to iTunes for music purchases and ipod syncing. Then Songbird came along and it was cool. But the more I used any of them, the more I realized they all lacked something. Not sure what each lacked, but they all seemed to just not be quite right. Mostly, they lacked decent album management. So I started searching some more and came upon MediaMonkey. I used the demo for a while and it was nice. I eventually bought it and starting working towards getting my tags in order, which is no small feat. I’m pleased with MediaMonkey, though I find it includes a bit too much fluff. It has good library management, so it’s not simple to add new tracks like it was in iTunes drag/drop abilities. “Tag Via the Web” is very nice and works quite well though, especially for tagging full albums at once. The “Files to Edit” group is very nice, collecting all the tracks that need better tagging in one place so you don’t have to go searching for them on your own. All in all, it was a good purchase. I’ll never be really happy though. :)
