some guy reviewed v3.0.5977 on Sep 5, 2016

for some reason the folders I add went to inbox instead of library to some hair pulling but i figured it out . ! star remove for the fact when I add a folder off a external drive it failed to find under scan Other then that best player of it's kind plain and simple. Give it a try!

HOLY COW. I'm blown away by this app. Saying it's full featured wouldn't be doing it justice. Highly configurable. Looks and works great.

some guy reviewed v2.4 RC1 on Jul 30, 2014

MusicBee 2.4 RC1 light weight non bloat my favorite :) would love to see a linux version :)

sweathog reviewed v2.3 RC1 on Feb 18, 2014

Used to be a great program. But the developer has eliminated support for alternative playlists like .pls and crippled support for the standard *.M3U playlist by eliminating the ability to save a .m3u playlist without file paths so that the playlist can be used on a portable device that doesn't know where your music files live. Bummer.

voidx reviewed v2.3.5100 Beta on Dec 19, 2013

the best. I switched from Foobar2000 and using it now for more than 2 years, it has small bugs here and there but I absolutelly love it.

sweathog reviewed v2.3.5100 Beta on Dec 18, 2013

Goodbye AIMP3. One-click ripping, tagging and album art, auto launch of PotPlayer when clicking on video, theater mode highly customizeable AND FREE. MusicBee just rocks.

my default player for windows does a excellent job on handling my music libraries which was the strongest point ! love the EQ a must have preformed excellent . Just a all around fantastic music- audio player ripper ect ...only gripe when moving the EQ sometimes a mass wave of hi pitch distortion runs through for a 1/10 of a second on XP 32 bit OS

Very nice constantly developing player and organizer. Keep your great job!

Running win7/64 and MB does not see my Iphone4. Tried rebooting...no joy. Media Monkey sees it, so does Itunes...Have ck mark for Iphone in setup...Wonder why no joy?? Pgm looks neat, well laid out and logical..Like it.

petiot reviewed v1.2.4176 RC3 on Jun 9, 2011

Well, I have tried them' all ... I used songbird for a while. Like the features and look, but thought it was patchy. Then I found MusicBee! Ten times more features, everything you could wish for really, and more. Works flawlessly and sounds great. If all software could be that well developed ... Bravo to the developer(s) and keep up with with the fantastic work!

some guy reviewed v1.2.4161 RC2 on May 24, 2011

fantastic manager player, they did something most players managers fail to do gave us the best of both worlds

netean reviewed v1.2.4037 Beta on Jan 23, 2011

This is one, if not the best music manager I've ever used. Written by one guy in his spare time, he is open to suggestions, takes them onboard and does whatever he can to add them to future builds.

It has great lyrics support, superb artwork downlloading ability, great tag editing.. and Most importantly, sounds wonderful. Uses the BASS engine from xmplay fame, but sounds wonderful.

There are almost daily updates to the beta, that are very easy to install (open zip file, copy files into folder)

Although I still have to have iTunes installed in order to access my iPod, it does mean I don't have to actually use run iTunes.

Everyone has their favourite music manager/player, this is mine.

MusicBee edges ever closer to perfection, and subsequently, world domination.

lucianct reviewed v1.2.4037 Beta on Jan 20, 2011

I used for a long time Winamp, then Songbird. But now I'll probably won't give up MusicBee for anything else. It's everything that I would ever want, but if you can come up with something that it misses, just kindly ask on the forum, it will be done :)

trents reviewed v1.2.3873 Beta on Nov 25, 2010

HI,
This is great and i also using this MusicBee where it is an application geared toward managing extensive music collections, easy to use and with a comprehensive feature set. It makes it easy to organize, find and play music files on your computer, on portable devices, and on the web. Love it,

aszure reviewed v1.2.3873 Beta on Sep 10, 2010

I have used this on my work PC for the last week, and I have to say that I am quite impressed. It probably wont be your be all, end all of media management. But it runs pretty smooth, and is quite customizable.

The Seeker 11 reviewed v1.2.3873 Beta on Aug 9, 2010

- New WASAPI (exclusive mode) support for Vista, Win7

This, for me, was the one thing missing that prevented me from using it full-time. Now that it has arrived, I'm happy as can be.

DrTeeth reviewed v1.2.3783 Beta on May 12, 2010

Crashes as soon as it tries to load as it cannot create a library

Havokdan reviewed v1.2.3705 Beta on Feb 22, 2010

It changes a lot, had tested the 1.1 version, I liked, but I too unstable for everyday use, this version has improved greatly, just use the pc for the resources that have not yet brings support for other languages and skins, which is planned pro future But version is already stable enough to use daily. It is worth noting, that has a download .dll separate site to play aac.

some guy reviewed v1.1 RC2 on Nov 9, 2009

would love to see a find my dam album art cover button other then that it ok

netean reviewed v1.1 RC1 on Oct 27, 2009

superb software. I think one of the best music managers out there - Works flawlessly with my ipod touch (1st gen os 3) is very very fast at tagging, finding artwork and lyrics

It's got some UI quirks that I think will be worked out as it develops.

The devloper is VERY active with posting updates and responding to bugs, faults and enhanements.

The ONLY criticism I have, is that it takes a while to load (part of that is because it's looking my myipod, but even without that it's quite slow - about as slow as firefox is to start)
and it uses a lot of RAM, but again, that's being worked on I'm sure.

overall, very nice indeed

PeterWH reviewed v1.1.3509 Beta on Aug 22, 2009

Fantastic Software; I really like that I can read the lyrics to the music while listening to the songs. Thank you for a great music organizer and rip/archiving program.

netean reviewed v1.1.3509 Beta on Aug 10, 2009

v3509 doesn't seem to copy properly to my 1st gen ipod touch... seems to copy file names but not whole file.

But previously mentioned bug fixed. overall stability much improved. Excellent

netean reviewed v1.1.3494 Beta on Jul 29, 2009

a very nice app, like iTunes, MediaMonkey etc but IMO easier to use and a little bette. Big PLUS for ipod touch syncing.

If only it was more stable and didn't crash every 5 seconds.

Autotag = crash
artwork search = crash
write artwork to folder = crash

apart from the flakiness and constant crashing, A superb little app

Gabes Dad reviewed v0.2.3346 RC1 on Mar 23, 2009

Actually using beta 0.3.3368 (download from forums here http://getmusicbee.com/f...?topic=99.msg502#msg502).

Considering how short of time this has been under development and how long I have personally used Winamp and extensively tried out all sorts of other players, I am already using this to replace Winamp. The developer is very active and open to suggestions and quick to squash bugs. This is a very promising music player and manager.

jefwal reviewed v0.2.3346 RC1 on Mar 2, 2009

With each new release of this product my decision to remove Win Amp from my machine is easier and easier.

I have noticed one issue though:

Shoutcast stations that worked before aren't working now.

Thinking that the stations went off the air I checked using Win Amp and those same stations worked just fine.

Maybe it was just my timing.

Anyway, a great program! Keep it up!

from MusicBee forum :

"some guy on betanews http://fileforum.betanew...l/MusicBee/1232891666/1 was speculating that i will charge for this product. This is to state clearly that i have no intention to do so - this software is provided because I enjoy doing it.

and now timbuctoo, can you tell how relevant are your few other points

- No option to disable the splash screen
- Every skin change requires a restart

???

timbuctoo reviewed v0.2.3323 Beta on Feb 8, 2009

A good program, but a few points to ponder.

- No option to disable the splash screen
- Every skin change requires a restart
- Doesn't seem like the author is going to keep this free

neapolis reviewed v0.2.3319 Beta on Feb 2, 2009

Very, very promising! Do not be shy to even go right to dotNET 3.5. It is a great environment, with great visual capabilities.

Todd 13 reviewed v0.2.3314 Beta on Jan 31, 2009

Extremely clean fast interface, and a TON of features.This is the best application out there for music organization/collection next to Mediamonkey, and I believe as soon as the new features are added to it, it's going to be superior. Definitely one to keep an eye on!
