mp3-Arranger

The mp3-Arranger is a tool for managing a big collection of mp3's clearly and efficiently.

The song details, well known from the ID3 tag, like "title", "performer", "album", "genre", "year", and "comments" as well as the track length are presented in a table. In the background, additional information (e.g. disk, path, file name, ...) are stored.

The program provides a comfortable import tool which enables you to extract the data of the ID3 tag (if extant), so that you don't have to enter all the data yourself.

But that's not all: The highlight is the integrated player, consisting of two playback units, a mixer, and a play list.

Beside the features known from conventional CD players, the player provides pitch controls (+/- 12%), a crossfader for easy fading over, and an automatic mode, in which the player acts on its own.

Recently, the Play-List also has an export feature, so that you can copy the files of the Play-List to Memory Sticks, for example. The order of the titles (can be changed with the arrow up/down buttons) is kept during export (this is useful especially with portable players which play the songs in the order they were saved on the Memory Stick).

¹ Some browsers can't handle the file type .jar and try to view files of this typ as text files instead of saving them to disk; in this case you have to right-click on the link and choose 'Save Link Target As...' from the popup menu. If your browser then proposes the file name 'retrieve.php' instead of 'mp3-Arranger.jar', please correct it.
