    Musicmatch for Windowsversions higher than Windows XP


    In my opinion, it was a very sad day indeed when the Audio software Musicmatch went to God, because it is
    not compatible with any Windows OS later than Windows XP.

    At the time and when I was a user of Windows XP, Musicmatch was a terrific piece of Software for Music.
    Converting, Adding album covers, Genre, Play Lists, File Name Changing etc. It really was the Burger with
    the Lot and I could not find any software that came anywhere near what Musicmatch was.

    I like most, went to Windows 7 at the time, but guess what, Musicmatch was not compatible. I think YAHOO bought
    Musicmatch and for some crazy reason, they shelved it, leaving the world with nothing to replace it. I do notice
    there is still a lot of support for Musicmatch and many questions are asked as to how it can be installed on Windows 10, 11 etc...

    I tried everything with disappointment being the result 100% of the time.

    Then I came up with a terrific idea and it works. Instead of trying to get Musicmatch to work with later versions
    of Windows, I partitioned my Hard Drive with 75% allocated to Windows 10 and installed Windows XP
    Service Pack 3 on the other 25%.

    Now whenever I activate my PC, I get the choice of Windows 10 or Windows XP. If I need / want to use
    Musicmatch, I select Windows XP and bingo, Musicmatch lives once again and works brilliantly.

    What I did works well and it may for you tool. It's a bit like going backwards, to go forward!!

    I would be so good if some organization could bring it back and have it compatible with Windows whatever.

    Thankfully I never experienced of what you "users" goes through; because I was always using winamp 2.81 (best soundEQ) and it works even in W10. No problems at even 1 functionality.
    You could use Winamp 5.6 for building your own visual GUI art gallery if you need. But lets be honest - you do not watch music; you experience it.
    Therefore my whole music is just sorted in d:\music as all best MP3 ripped by myself in best quality from my hundreds of cassettes and CDs. Just set a playlist and go back to your work duties with rhythm.
    About recording - just like all professionals Im using Audacity (you have to add mp3 dll to be able to save as).
