● Main features |
| |
-
Audio file search and collect
-
Build your music library the easy way. Just set the root folder(s)
where you know your files are in and SoundXplorer will
automatically search, index and catalog them.
For all features, SoundXplorer handles MP3, WMA and WAV files.
-
Metadata smart editing (ID3/WMA-Tag)
-
It can't get more simple than this. Edit metadata information by the good old drag and drop system.
Drag one file onto an Artist folder and the ID3 information will be automatically updated.
More so, you can edit metadata on multiple files at the same time.
And even more so, you can set a group of files in it's original order (track order, as in the original CD) and
a simple button click will query the web and set the song's Title, Album, Artist, etc. all at once.
-
CD-Rip with Internet search integration
-
The old and useful CD-Rip feature is also present in SoundXplorer in a very
discreet way.
The Audio CD appears as a branch on the main explorer tree, but only when a Audio CD is present on the computer's drive.
When selected, you can manually select the tracks for ripping and set it's metadata information.
But you can make it all happen with just on click, allowing SoundXplorer to query the web and automatically
set the appropriate metadata.
-
Cross-format converting
-
SoundXplorer fully supports MP3, WMA and WAV files. You can convert between these formats any way you like.
This feature is available in the 'Send To' pop menu.
Right-click a file or file group, choose 'Send To►New Format'.
This way you can choose to replace the original file or choose another destination (like a Pen Drive, for example).
-
Media Server with built-in search engine
-
This is a optional feature of SoundXplorer named SoundXplorer Server.
By optional, does not mean it's less powerful. It's main
purpose is to publish you music library
rather than build or manage it.
It uses the same library engine as SoundXplorer, so you'll need to use SoundXplorer first to build your
library so that the Server can publish it.
For detailed information see the Media Server section.
