Audio Player, Organizer Advice Needed

[juanantoniod]

Hello everyone,

I need an audio organizer/player that will play MP3s and WAVs, allow me to compile a list of certain songs from various sources (MP3 files, “burned” CDs), then for those songs without or with incorrect ID tag information, I need to edit the “tag”, then save (“export”) all of the audio files associated with my playlist to one folder, and then export a track listing to a file that is editable, such as TXT or RTF. Plus, I would like to have the ability to drag and drop the songs up and down in the “playlist” before finalizing the “compilation”.

Is this too much to ask? :shock: I hope not… Please let me know if there is anything out there than can do this for me. I appreciate your informed recommendations.

Thanks!

I just started using MediaMonkey and I think it covers most of what you want if not all. Looks like it when I go into the program. Definitely worth checking out. I just haven't had time to play with it yet.
Not sure about the TXT or RTF. Can't hurt to check it out. I think I will be making it my audio file playing program though.

Thanks, devildog93! I will check it out.

I checked out Media Monkey, and it seems like IT wants to do everything automatically. I want total control. Does anyone have experience with this, or another prgram that will do what I want? Thanks!

Thanks, devildog93! I will check it out.

No prob. I checked it out, it does mp3 and wav. It also has a converter, but don't know how well it functions. Has a whole bunch of tagging features, is highly customizable.

The more I look at it, the more I think it might be for you. And even if not the "COMPLETE" package, you might be able to use it for 90% of what you need and have another program tightening up any slack.

Good luck, let me know what you find.

Oh Ok. Hmm. I will check further into it. And there is someone on here who is an avid fan of it, and they might be able to help you.

I kinda noticed the auto thing, but figured there might be ways to do it yourself.


I have to go back and check previous posts and see what I can dig up for you or some useful advice.

 

[devildog93]

another one that might allow you to edit tags on your own is AIMP2

Don't know for sure, maybe go and check this link, see what it has to offer.

AIMP - Free Music Player

I am not the biggest audiophile, I basically use my iPod 120gb for listening to tunes and I am not huge into editing, though it would be nice if WMP would bring back the advanced tag editor they used to offer. Anyways, I am still seeing if I can find you other advice.


I found where you can do the tags, in MM, and also you should check into the many add-ons available, including advanced tagging, playlisting, etc.

I will try Media Monkey, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that will automatically name your songs based on the song's "signature"?

 

[juanantoniod]

devildog93 - Thanks for all your input! the AIMP looks more like what I was looking for. I appreciate your follow thru... AIMP says it supports WinAmp Plug-Ins. I wonder if there is one that would retrieve song info based on the song's "signature"... Any ideas?

That's a good question as I am too "informed" on that end of the game.

I'm the guy who has tags like this. tool_track3-XXXX or unknown.........LOL!

I will keep my eyes open and hopefully a MediaMonkey guru will stumble across this thread. They seem to be pretty rabid about the program.

I guess another option, if they are free, is try them both. Check into add-ons, they might help you.

Good luck and maybe EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE bump the thread if it rolls off the list, with no valuable contributions (or create a new one as some of us are too lazy to look back) did he just say that?

You could always check out MM forums as well, see what's hitting or missing with the program, and I'm sure AIMP2 has a forum as well.

Good luck, man, I'm pulling for ya, as I know how hard it is to find the perfect media player.

My perfect media player......is my PS3

Devildog93 –

I hear ya about the PS3! My homie has one, and it does everything, well almost... Anyway, it was able to stream media off our desktop/server when the XBOX 360 required Microsoft to help set it up to do that. Also, he recently found out that you can replace the HD yourself with a bigger one pretty easily. Can you please PM me with the details on your PS3 social club, so I can pass them along to him?

Also, thanks for the ! I have never seen that before and it made me LOL. I’m having kind of a ruff nite,, so that was nice!!

Oh yeah, and my files are either unknowns too! Or they were "burned" to CD back when WMP did not put the tags on the non-MP3 discs (the ones playable anywhere). [This was 8 years ago...and I'm not sure that the program has even gotten any better...] A week or so ago, I was trying to listen to a video file (on my computer), and slow it down so I could take notes, but the pitch went down with it. 2 days ago, my homie was fast forwarding thru a DIVX movie on his PS3 and I could still hear the audio in the right pitch. I do no understand why a "game console" is so much more powerful than a computer...

The PS3 has a pretty intense engine in it and it also is pretty much dedicated to providing great audio and sound and gaming. I;m not knowledgeable enough about the inner-workings of either PC or PS3 to really say "this is why".

But they are an intense machine.

As far as the PS3 Social Club, that is something I started on this site for members that also enjoy using the PS3. But he is more than welcome to join and we can chat about whatever. I am the only member right now as I JUST started it a few hours ago.


I can also point you to another forum if you wish, I am a member over there and it deals with PS3 Media Server.

I go by the same name over there, so your friend could PM me on that forum if he likes. No problem either way.


Let me know what you find and what media player you decide on, I am kind of curious about that now.

Anyways, good luck with your Media player search and feel free to PM me about whatever.

Foobar2000 can do most of the things you asked, the file operations and tagging are great.

Thank you, hybridfan!

I will add that to the top of my list of audio filers to check out. I appreciate your input.
