Installed with problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system...

A company without name and address. We had a previous version AllMySongs Database 2.3 on October 27, 2013. Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/allmysongs-database-2-3/

An absolute no-go is the default installation directory : c:\AllMySongs Database

To the installation process. The installer tries to install some system files

which conflicts with some existing files, resulting in my case in a shared violation access :

This is not the way an installation should work... at least the software producer says:
System Requirements: Windows 2003/ Vista/ XP/ 7 (x32/x64) Win 8.x is missing.

I'm always happy to make new installations in a virtual environment, so I does not mess up a working system.

Result: could not test it -> Uninstalled via reboot.

Think always, that this kind of software collects all information about media files of your computer and sends these information to an unknown server. No, there isn't any privacy statement on the homepage.

Screen shots made my freeware Greenshot 1.2.4 - which I use from now on.

Happy New Year to all!

Thanks, Karl, for the road test. Last time I encountered this software, its developer's name wasn't "OptWin Software". That said: a name change means nothing, as does OptWin's membership of so-called Software Industry Professionals, a pay-up-and-join outfit that doesn't even keep a publicly accessible member register. What actually means something is that a change of developer name clearly hasn't brought with it a change in AllMySongs bad habits: it says much for the standards of "Software Industry Professionals" that as with the predecessor version, so with this, the program continues to dump itself straight into C:\. Failure to do anything about that is really discouraging: I'd have been curious to know if the lock-up problems I experienced with the earlier version have been resolved this time around, but as the developer seems too lethargic to even fix a simple default installation routine it seems pointless to hope for changes elsewhere. This developer's continued resort to questionable "endorsements" is also off-putting: Softpedia's "all clear to download" symbol is not and never has been a software performance award; all the other "awards" on the OptWin website are equally dubious. Ah well.

This had been givenaway before and there was a mixed reviews about the program. I found it to be nice and useful too. But also there are some popular Freeware to be considered.

* MusicBee Portable-

*MediaMonkey ( it is the movie and music organizer for the serious collector )

*Music Collection Portable

*MP3 Organizer PRO

*KCatalog

* Mp3tag for flawless batch tagging.

I just want to say briefly that while MP3Tag isn't really a comparable app to today's GOTD App, when you finish checking out today's GOTD Offer, checking out MP3Tag won't be a waste of time for most, it's really nicely written, has lots of cool features, and is constantly updated.

Versions 2.2 and 2.3 have been offered in the past. You can look up those comments but to save you a little time both came in at only 32% thumbs up. If you want a simple catalog program, take a look at Cathy. I use the to keep track of the songs on my MP3 players to eliminate duplicates. It's free, it's portable, it's fairly powerful as you can perform standard searches, searches by name, and for duplicates. I also use it in a separate folder for my movies and TV shows. You can check it out here...
