Setup on completion claims the computer needs to be rebooted, so beware if you wish to install this on a personal server of yours

Second warning although it does not install into the Program Files heirachy it STILL demands elevated Admin rights to run!!! It demands them but does NOT request them using the normal manifest method!

Downloaded and installed fine on Windows 7. Must run as administrator for it to work.

Most of today's media players have these databases built into them so I do't know why you would need this software.

However, I figured I'd give it a try anyway.

I set it to choose music from a music folder i have on an external harddrive and it took roughly two minutes to place the 2400 songs into the database.

I then wanted to update album covers, band photos and aldum info for some songs. This is a problem. Each of these requests is a seperate process. The software will not grab all three items at one time. The software also doesn't look at itself and see that ten songs come from the same album, instead it looks at each song and retrieves the information ten times.

Then you have to start the process over to download album info and again for band photos.

I'm not even going to try and download lyrics for all the songs. That would take awhile.

The default view is nice but i had to add some columns like file size, format and bitrate (my own preferences) from the view\choose columns menu.

The built in player plays everything, but the controls are a little wierd to me - the previous button is after the next button and that makes them look out of place since the arrows face each other.

Otherwise everything works. It's not the best, but it is functional and does what it says as much as my quick tests prove.

It looks nice. But when I try to add my Music Folder, it doesn't search the Sub-Folders for music, which mean it doesn't find ANY songs.

@reply #8... Go to "edit" and select all (either artist or albums), then download the artwork. As for the program not searching subfolders... when you add your music file, you have to choose the "add folder" option (rather than "add selected folders") for it to scan your folder and include all subfolders.

Installs fine on Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Will also install on XP-MCE 32-bit and Min7 x64 later. I agree about the admin rights although I think that if I had chosen a different destination folder rather than the default "C:\AllMySongs Database" setting, things may have gone differently.

This program has done a slightly better job than most media players I have installed (Winamp, RealPlayer, iTunes, Windows Media Player and Songbird) at finding the album/artist artwork. The GUI leaves much to be desired though but it gets the job done.

I've been searching for a media manager for a while now to complement my new fave media player (MPlayer for Windows) and I'm happy with today's offering.

Thanks again GAOTD... you guys rock!
