An audio library today may contain Audio CDs, Audio DVDs, vinyl discs, audio files in a common format, like MP3, M4A, FLAC, APE etc. Whereas this variety is not always represented in a single library, it offers an idea how complex the problem of tracking music may be.
That is where a special music organizer may prove to be very useful.
Musicnizer browses your bulk of audio files and makes an audio database with information about every album and artist. Necessary details can be pulled from ID3 tags of the files. The program can also retrieve album art, track info, genre, year, label, album critique, and further info.
With an audio library that consists of physical media (like vinyl records, or CDs), you can try another method of putting data into Musicnizer. The organizer supports all sorts of USB barcode scanners and portable readers like Opticon OPN-2001. Simply scan barcodes off your album cases, and Musicnizer will automatically find details of the album on the internet.
For users who do not have any barcode scanners Musicnizer offers a unique function: it can scan barcodes using a web camera!
Yet another method to add an album is simply typing its title into the tool.
Unlike other music organizer tools, Musicnizer offers fairly much data about artists. At your request it will download basic info, biography, discography, photos. All items are displayed as links, so just click an album in a discography to proceed to its page. A click on a genre will show all albums of this genre from your catalog.
Once entered, all info from the music collection can be easily sorted and filtered. Reports will export or print any information about your library. The loan manager is very useful for users who give their discs to friends.
The powerful features of Musicnizer can be further extended with various plugins. Give Musicnizer a try to see what it's really capable of!
