Today's giveaway looks like a pretty good tool for managing your music files in the MP3 format: very suitable for iPod, iPhone, Android phones and iTunes users.

It can download song lyric and download cover arts in batch and then autotag them with ease even to your iPod. But it's also able to delete ID3 Tags, delete cover arts and lyrics, as well as search for MP3 duplicates. Very easy to use thanks to its excellent help file option with images.

So why 75% THUMBS DOWN? Don't need it?? DON'T RATE IT...DAMN!!

25 bucks is a little bit overpriced taking into account that you can do more or less the same things and even more for FREE without any UPDATE limitation....

First of all, to search, listen and record any kind of MP3, according to the song name, artist or music genre, from all over the web literally with a mouse click:

And finally, don't forget the awesome portable freeware "Taghycardia", to use as a "diagnostic tool" in addition to one of the above Music Tag organizers, in order to prevent the so called "decomposition" of MP3 albums on a tag-sorting portable player, which are often caused by the presence of possible TAG ERRORS causing duplicate or missing albums, artists and tracks:

TOTAL COST OF THE ENTIRE OPERATION ===> 0$/€

I guess a monster integrated approach like Zortam is good for some, but
I still prefer to use good old (and compact) cdex for cd ripping, and taghycardia for auto tagging. Both are free, the former is opensource! The latter does auto cover art and what not. No Java or .Net required, so go figure.

The programme does not run on my laptop. I get the error message:
For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before
trying to run this program again.

I have no clue which system debuggers are meant. But I do not understand why an application as this would object to normal antivirus software.

Presently this appears only useful for Western music (or at least music files using only Latin characters in their file name/path/tags).

As non-Latin scripts are not displayed - left either blank or as garbage characters- this is useless for anyone with songs from countries using other scripts.

Files with characters or tags from other scripts (e.g. Chinese) cannot be processed by the auto tagger.

Files whose filenames are completely in non-Latin script are simply not shown.
