Music Trio

  Groovy software three-pack for music aficionados.

Music Trio, as the name indicates, is "essentialware" for a real music fan. It consists of three independent modules. One of Music Trio users called it "the Holy Trinity of digital music software" and that is probably the best short description for the product one could possible come up with.

The first Music Trio component is AudioConverter Studio and it's basically an audio CD grabber and music file converter combined. AudioConverter Studio offers a one-click grabbing option, and can rip and convert an audio CD to MP3, WMA, FLAC and OGG files in well under 10 minutes even on the older and slower PCs. The conversion goes both ways for mp3, wma, ogg and wav files. CDPLAYER.INI and M3U and PLS playlists are supported.

To edit MP3 tags, one can use the second component called mp3Tag. This MP3 tag editor is capable not only of editing tags for MP3, wma and other music files, but actually can automatically fill the missing tags by accessing FreeDB and Amazon.com. Internet access and one mouse click, and the program returns track1, track2, track3 files with their appropriate names. Other handy functions include batch renaming/editing, lyrics/pictures support, "unused" MP3 file deletion option and other perks.

Media Catalog Studio is the name of the third component. It's a multimedia organizer that systematizes and categorizes all audio and video files stored on your hard-drive, CDs, DVDs, tapes and any other types of storage media. This media organizer is especially helpful for folks who have hundreds or thousands of media files stored on multiple CDs, DVDs and other storage devices, and need a fast way to locate a file of interest.
