MP3's
Utilities,
is a package which contains 6 different applications.
MP3 Organizer (the most important)
MP3 Browser, MP3's List,
MP3s Mover, Upgrade
and Integrity Viewer. All these six are part
of the package, Translator on the other hand,
is not part of it. Let's explain them separately.
|
MP3 Organizer
|
|
|
This is the main application. You'll be able to organize all your
MP3s, from the very moment you set the path where you save them.
You'll also be able to have them sorted by Title, Artist, Album, Year,
Comment, Genre, Path and could also load Winamp's playlists (.M3U
files). You can edit their tags, and have them played (through Winamp)
with a double-click over the file.
You can also "export"
(make a copy of the selected files) to any folder you want. Say you
want to burn all your Rock Music in a CD, you sort your MP3s by
genre, you ask for 'Rock', and would have all your Rock music listed.
To do that you would sort your MP3s by genre and ask for ‘Rock’. You would
then select them, and export them to a temp folder. All you have
to do now is to burn your CD with these files and you're done.
Search function (using
any or all of the fields) of the words you want (with 'OR',
'AND' & 'Exact Phrase' type of search)

MP3 Browser
|
|
|
This application's User Interface (UI)
uses WinAmp's skin. You can let the browser use the same skin as
WinAmp, set its own or set WinAmp's skin through its interface.
MP3 Browser would let you browse among your files and have them play
with a click. All the other features, such as Tag editor, search
function, etc. are not available through its interface but they are
still available on MP3 Organizer

MP3's List
|
|
|
This
application will create some files with all the
MP3s you have. A text file (.TXT), a Word file (if
selected in the settings) and an Excel file (if
selected in the settings). It will also let you
save these files into the syncronization
folder of your Pocket PC (Windows CE) handheld
so... you'll be able to have the list in your
handheld automatically!!
|
MP3 Mover
|
|
|
This application will
move the MP3s file from the path where you download them (from Internet) to the
path where you save all your MP3 files. It will also notify to MP3
Organizer about the new file(s) to be added into its database.
|
Upgrade
|
|
|
From time to time, you
could receive a database named "To Upgrade.mdb".
This file will be the lastest version of the database. You'll need this
new file
to get your new version working. Upgrade.exe will
import all the information you had on your database
to this new database.
|
Integrity Viewer
|
|
|
Integrity
Viewer is an application that will let you see
the "problems" that occurred when trying
to find the ID3 tags information. Even though the
files get added to the database anyway, the Integrity
Viewer will show you the problems that existed
with the files. You can use this application to select these files and create their
tags out of their filename using a mask that you
can set. e.g.: If your file is named "U2
- Where the streets have no names" you can set
a mask as "Artist - Title" and have the
tags created automatically.
|
Translator
|
|
|
Translator
is an application which will let you translate
the original file into the language you want with
a friendly user interface. It's easy to use,
and you will have much more information to know what
you're translating than reading caption's file directly.
