picture and music manager software

[bubusam13]

Hi, In my system, lots of pictures are saved here and there. It would be a very cumbersome process if it have to search them manually. I even forgot in which folder what images are.

I want a program to search my entire computer for images and display it. I want the program to recognise variety of image formats, jpeg, tiff, svg, gif etc etc. Pls suggest one. Pls try to suggest one with less size so that I can save on downloads.

Same for music too.

Picasa for images

and maybe iTunes for Music? Not Sure.

J River media Centre is much much better than iTunes.

Try Picasa, simple and best.

 

[bubusam13]

yes I have picassa, everytime I open it, it starts searching again and this take a lot of time.

use paid softwares like ACDSee - best or free alternative like Xnview .. for music try Foobar2000.

As for Pictures Picasa does the job although I do miss some features. For Music nothing beats Mediamonkey for me. Near Perfect.

Thanks for your suggestions all. I dont like Picasa though, I will try Xnview.
Mediamonkey I have used. I am facing some problem since it displays the Track name and not file name. And windows display the file name.

e.g. ''Track01_lucky_kabhi.mp3'' is the file name but mediamonkey displays it as ''Kabhi aisa lagta hai- Lucky Ali'' which is the track name. I want it to display the file name.

Yeah well that can be solved. You just have to right click on the Title or any column, Select filename and then drag it to front, I mean the first and there you have it. It will display filename for you.

 

[bubusam13]

Ok thanks, will try it.

 

[gameranand]

You are welcome buddy.

Musicbee for music.

All the players display Title not the file name.

I need a manager basically that search all my drives and shows me the music files so that I donot have to open each and every folders separately. Sometime I even forget in which folder what songs are.

So if its a player, its just an added functionality for me

 

[dashing.sujay]

^And I gave solution for that in 2nd reply of this thread, only if you had tried.

 

[bubusam13]

yes will try. Approaching download limit. So have to download in office.
Damn I m missing my BSNL EVDO unlimited

3 more music manager apps I can suggest are :
Jaangle - highly recommended , Helium Music Manager and MP3 Organizer Pro.

Mediamonkey does that + it shows the file name after some minor tweaking.

Thank you guys... else i will get confused.
Is there any app that automatically searches and add album art.. And also some software that can add track because many files I have, have only file names like track01.mp3, rohit_fav1.mp3. Thay dont have track name and I dont know which album they are from.
I can manually recognise tracks using TrackID app in my phone but I need some PC software that automatically does it. and add track names.

 

[gameranand]

Well thats what Title is for. As for Album Title, mediamonkey can search for you but you have to do it manually and if you make it automatic it may make a mess.
