I haven't fully committed to MusicBee yet. When I picked Media Monkey, it was literally the only application that did not choke on my library. I already manage my library with folders and playlists. When I ditched iTunes, all I really wanted was the old-school Winamp, but that wasn't an option. A spreadsheet style interface is nice for doing data work. I have a lifetime license, and it works great when I don't push it. I do like Media Monkey for tagging files though. Except for the audio, the only interface with the software is visual. MusicBee is not embarassing to have running on my computer at work. You can tell me all day about how looks aren't important, but I don't buy it. MusicBee looks like it was written in this decade. It would seem that I can't do that in MM. I can click around multiple views, searches, and sorts, without fragmenting my database. including all the pictures it's been downloading. My entire MusicBee installation is under 200MB. My Media Monkey database is over 500MB for 64K files. I have equipment that deals with playing music in different areas of my house. UPnP/DLNA only via plugin? Don't care.Might as well plug in to my computer to sync Didn't care when I had an Android I gotta plug in to charge anyway.Don't Care, I don't use an iPhone or iPod touch.Nohitter151 wrote:No iPhone/iPod touch support I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking with MB on the tablet as a DMC, but use MMW on my desktop machines for library work (not sure about artwork.) and playing. I've been using MB for a total of one day, but I have it working on the tablet better than MMW, which I have been using for about six years. I could not use a scrolling/swiping artwork selector on the 1GB tablet with MMW. It's done seamlessly.Ĥ) equaliser and effects DSP (e.g.


even though I might prefer it to use my artwork. MB seems to find high quality artwork for most of my collection. I've fought long and hard for album artwork, doing scanning, or fighting with the various artwork search tools in MM, none of which work very well. I like the scrolling album/artist selection, and that this makes the tracks selectable I'd been considering suggesting just this feature for MM'ģ) integration with online metadata, artwork and info sources, e.g. I like MB's multiple views, depending on what you're doing. MM doesn't seem to like touch scrolling, and some UI actions are practically impossible without a mouse.Ģ) context views. Whilst there are a few rough edges, with the library loading and tablet viewport issues for the setting UIs, thereare things MM could learn:ġ) touch interface integration. I've been struggling to make MMW work sensibly on a small Win8.1 tablet recently, but it doesn't work well with a touch interface. In tended not to bloat the main app, I think. Don't care I'm never going to sync my 1.5TB library.
