    Softpedia Editor's Review for The GodFather

    Batch rename of files using Tag/Filename/Folder name/Audio file information

    Written by Bogdan Popa on November 15th, 2011

    The GodFather is a software solution designed to help you handle audio files and rename them on the go, no matter if we’re talking about tags, file names or the rest of details.

    The application is being delivered as a very light package, so it takes just a couple of seconds to download and install it. At the first glance whatsoever, you may be shocked.

    The interface isn’t at all easy to use and it takes a while until getting used to it, not because it’s ugly, because it’s not, but due to the way features are organized in the main window.

    There are a lot of buttons everywhere you look and although the developer has tried to keep things clean by placing a file browser in the left side of the window and all the featured in the right, the whole look is quite confusing to the user.

    Truth is, The GodFather is a very powerful application, but an user-friendly interface is a must have if you want to let users take full advantage of its features.

    Nevertheless, the program comes with everything you’d ever need when working with audio files, so the renaming or file information editing is just a matter of minutes.

    Double clicking a given field lets you edit the information on the fly, but full tag editors are always accessible via the right click.

    The GodFather is indeed a very advanced software solution that supports so many important things, be them ID3v1 & ID3v tags, Ogg Vorbis comments or even online cover art downloaders, but the greatest drawback is definitely its approach.

    Still, it deserves a chance, but there are a lot of things to be improved to turn The GodFather into a top pick. Good thing it’s freeware though.
