Zortam Mp3 Media Studio is all-in-one Mp3 application that is really loaded.

Why do I call it loaded?

It contains MP3 organizer for searching and cataloguing Mp3 files into Mp3 library, editing ID3v1 and ID3v2.3 tags converting audio CD to MP3 and WAV format using CDDB.  With Zortam Media Studio you can easily search for song lyrics from the internet, also get batch lyrics and cover picture update from the internet, create lyrcis book. But that’s not all converting Wav to Mp3 files and Mp3 to Wav files, managing M3u playlists, renaming files using ID3 tags, searching for duplicate Mp3 files are among the other cool features available in this cool tool.

See what I mean by loaded?

In the latest version, the major change effected is:

• Improved algorithm for Zortam auto tagging from Zortam Music Database (ZMLIMD)

While there is many programs available that do various things with MP3s, this one tries to roll them all into one package. It lets you do just about every little thing with your mp3 collection.

Some of these features are identifying,removing and editing of tags ( supports ID3Tag V1 and V2 tags, Vorbis (Ogg) comments and APEv2 tags) Powered by FreeDB. (This works by downloading the tags from the internet based on the filenames).

It also has a duplicate file finder, quality analyzer, playlist generator,file organizer and player and it even supports burning.

Musicip Mixer is a program that allows you to create music playlists based on the sonic qualities of each song. This means the program analyses your song collection and finds songs that sound similar based on various characteristics of the songs. It then is able to generate a playlist based on that information.

After it analyzes your collection (the first time you run it), it will analyze each new song you add to your collection automatically. When you’re listening to a song you simply tell the program to make a playlist of similar “sounding” songs. Basically it acts as a virtual DJ, as opposed to just picking songs totally at random!

I’ve used the winamp plug-in and I like it. So if you listen to a lot of music on your computer, its well worth checking out!
It’s also available as a stand alone program and in free and premium versions.

If you’re like the average internet surfer, chances are you’ve developed a very large collection of music over the years.   Ever since peer to peer surfing has come about starting with Napster and then getting larger and larger as time goes on, what we are finding is that many people that have large music collections just keep downloading songs time and time again, with new songs just getting added to the list as they continue to download. This is what causes the large growth of their music collections and when it gets to a certain point, a music collection can be quite difficult to sift through.

This is exactly where the TagScanner software comes in.  It is a program capable of a range of functions all relating to the organization of larger music collections. It allows you to browse through the files on your computer and organize your music files by changing the tags on them. Tags that can be changed include things like album, artist name, song title and anything else you can think of that would be pertinent to cataloguing and organizing a music collection. It can also automatically rename files for you based on the tags that you give them and therefore allows you to automate some of the more mundane tasks of organization.

One of the interesting aspects of the technological boom of recent times is that storage is getting to such a size that without organization it eventually becomes impossible to find anything. For example, if you have an iPod then you know exactly what I’m talking about! Some iPod devices have the ability to hold hundreds if not thousands of songs and indeed when it comes right down to it if you are able to download a thousand songs to one place, you are going to have problems if you don’t have them organized!

And that, my friends, is where Floola comes in. Floola is actually a multi-operating system program, but the specific version that is mentioned here in this blog posting is a Windows-based program. It is completely free and it is a piece of software that you can use to manage not only your iPod, but you can also use it for any Motorola cellular phone. It works on any mobile device that supports the iTunes software and ultimately it allows you to stay organized which in turn allows you to get to the songs that you want a lot quicker.

Floola for Windows is definitely one of the more interesting pieces of freeware out there today, because it fills such an important purpose with a minimum of hassle.

There is no doubt in the minds of many that Windows Media Player is a great example of a piece of software that Microsoft has done right. There are some things that they do wrong in their operating systems and attached programs and some things they do right; most people would agree that WMP is in the latter category. However, just because it works fine already doesn’t mean that someone can’t make improvements on it and that is exactly the attitude that publisher Gabest took when he created the Media Player Classic.

Users of the old Windows operating systems will immediately recognize the layout of the MPC as being very similar to the layout used by older versions of Windows Media Player. This was done intentionally so that a person that wants to keep the familiarity but change the software can download MPC to their computer and not lose a step in their music enjoyment experience.

However, in spite of the look-alikes of the two pieces of software, there are many features that MPC has that the WMP does not. For example, MPC has real-time zoom on DVD programs as well as a dedicated section of the software for DVDs; something that is really more of an afterthought than anything else on WMP. In addition to that, the MPC supports a wide range of file formats including the infamous .ram RealVideo format that WMP seems to hate. 

All of this in a free package is quite impressive and more info can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli

One of the coolest things ever developed for the use of online music files is the concept of Ogg Vorbis tags.  These are tags attached to audio files that allow you to give information to other people that might be using the same file later on to listen.  For example, if you’ve ever seen a file pop up in your Windows Media Player with information regarding the name of the artist, the title of the song, the year of publishing, the CD cover or anything else, what you were looking at was very likely a Vorbis tag!

Well, now you can create and maintain your Vorbis tags through the use of the WinVorbis 1.60 editor.  It is a multi-file editor that really makes the process of encoding and entering tags for a whole CD’s worth of songs as easy as possible.   Not only does it allow you easy editing of the typical artist and title tags, but it also allows you define up to a maximum of six other tags specifically for use with your CD files.   It is about as user friendly as can be and the reason that so many people like it is specifically because it tags music tagging and makes it extremely easy.

Oh and by the way it’s free as well; more information on it can be found at http://winvorbis.stationplaylist.com/

In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new internet security threat in the last few weeks that is sure to strike fear into any music fan.

An mp3-eating worm/virus has been unleashed recently. It copies itself to all drives on the infected computer and searches for mp3 files which it then proceeds to delete. In fact it’s main aim is to delete all mp3 files from all drives on the compromised computer!

It’s name is W32.Deletemusic. Thankfully, so far, it’s been given a low risk factor by the major antivirus companies, but apparently it’s not the first threat of this kind. Are more such threats on the way? Now you have an even better reason (as if you didn’t already) to make sure you have up to date antivirus protection.

The Quick Time Player is one of the most popular if not the most popular player around.  Not only does it have the ability to be universally adaptable and play file formats all the way from the typically seen .mov to the lesser known .3gp, but it also has a number of really neat abilities not only to manipulate files you already have, but also to connect to remote databases and download new files just like Windows Media Player.

The one major drawback of the Quick Time Player is that the installation for the player itself is amazingly large.   In other words, not only is the download going to be a while coming, but in addition to that the installation will be resource intensive.

One way to avoid this situation is to use the Quick Time Alternative.  The QT7 Lite 1.81 is the latest in a long time of Quick Time Programs that were intended to have the same great features as Quick Time, but without the resource intensive aspect of the program itself.   You can play all of the supported Quick Time formats and in addition to that also play embedded content in different pages you might encounter online.   However, the computer resources needed are greatly reduced, allowing you to use your precious resources for other tasks.
