We are a group of people engaged in collecting as much digital music as possible. It took a little bit of effort setting up my player (you have to tell it what file formats it supports, how to convert incompatible files, and where to store the files on your player) but once it was done it was fairly easy to use and I've had few issues with it.Home of the compulsive music collectors who are looking to expand, archive or organize their music library. Due to this, I returned to using MediaMonkey. Unfortunately, Sony stopped supporting Media Go and replaced it with Music Center for PC which was nowhere as good as Media Go (as an example, it only works with music). Also, it handled easily everything that I needed for my player (music, audiobooks, podcasts, pictures, and videos), including doing auto conversions when loading files if needed. Instead, you could just select and send your tracks to your player. While it wasn't as powerful as MediaMonkey or iTunes, it was reliable and simple.Īs an example, unlike other programs, it didn't mandate that you sync your player. I didn't want to take the time and effort to set it up manually so I decided to try Sony's music management program, Media Go, and I liked it. The main disadvantage is that it increases the size of each music file slightly since each file contains its only copy of the album art.Ĭlick to expand.An issue I had with MediaMonkey is that with newer digital audio players it often didn't support them out of the box (as in plug them in and it recognizes them), such as my Sony NWZ-A17. My own preference is to just store it in the ID3 tag because: (1) it reliably displays on all of my players (I have four different brands of digital audio players) and on my computer, (2) the album art travels with the music if you move it or copy it, and (3) it allow you to put different album art into each track (I did this with a sampler compilation of tracks from different albums, putting the original album art in each track). MM allows you to automatically store the album are in the ID3 tag, in the album's folder, or in both location. Some music management programs, like Windows Media Player (WMP), store the album art as a graphic file in the album's folder (I eventually found that WMP stores the album art as two hidden system files, the art and a thumbnail, in the album's folder). One of the quirks of Walkman players is that the album art must be stored in the ID3 tag for it to be displayed on the player. For a while I had an issue with album art on my Walkman players.
