If you are looking for an application geared toward managing extensive music collections, easy to use and with a comprehensive feature set – MusicBee is that application. MusicBee is Windows only media organizer for netbook users.
It makes it easy to organize, find, and play music files on your computer, on portable devices, and on the Web. It provides playback of a range of audio formats, smart playlists with the ability to discover and play new music from the web, advanced tag editing with automated artwork and tag look up, folder monitoring, automated file re-organization, portable device synchronization, and secure CD ripping with AccurateRip verification.
After the installation, Musicbee will prompt you to import tracks from Windows Media Library or iTunes. You can also manually add all the folders that contain your audio or MP3 files.
Now that you have added all your folders in Musicbee, you can browse and navigate around just as you do in Windows explorer. MusicBee has an impressive explorer from where you can browse to a desired folder containing your albums and audio clips.
You can also search for available tracks and audio songs on FluxBlog, Streogum and SoundBites from right inside Musicbee. You can select any file for playback and can even download the song in your computer. This solves the problem of using dedicated download managers for bulk downloading mp3 files. The utility also supports managing podcast subscriptions and listening to favorite radio channels.
Features
- Supported formats: MP3, AAC, M4A, MPC, OGG, FLAC, APE, TAK, WV, WMA and WAV.
- Audio CDs: Audio CD playback and ripping (with CD-Text capabilities) is supported. CD tracks can be ripped (in fast or secure mode) as individual files or as a single album with embedded cue sheet.
- Conversion: Conversion from and to all supported formats as metadata are preserved. Synchronization of tags only (in case that the output file already exists) instead of re-encoding is possible.

- Scrobbling: Tacks played from MusicBee can optionally be scrobbled to Last.fm.
