iTunes Album Browser 2.1.49 is a IPod Software product from albumbrowser.klarita.net, get 4 Stars SoftSea Rating, iTunes Album Browser is a graphical frontend for iTunes that allows you to browser your music collection by using album covers or virtual CD spines. You can sort and group your library content in different ways, download artwork from the Internet and transfer it to iTunes, create playlists, tag albums and more.
This software is a companion for iTunes (Windows XP). It analyses your music collection, collates the full albums that are contained within it, and displays the album covers (or spines), with various sorting and filtering abilities to get to the music you want quickly and intuitively. It retrieves album art from Amazon automatically if required. It can also display album reviews, song lyrics and all other songs from the playing artist.
While iTunes version 7 has it's own cover art view, this does not aggregate tracks into albums unless you have ordered your track listing by album. iTunes Album Browser always aggregates albums correctly, with various sorting options such as :
* Showing the albums you have added to your collection most recently first.
* Ordering all albums by average rating, so you can see your top 10 albums of all time, or with some filtering applied too, your top 10 by decade/year etc.
Further advantages over standalone iTunes 7 :
* Very easy to build and manage an album playlist (without dragging track selections).
* Can view detail of the currently playing track/album in full screen view (reviews, lyrics, lists of similar artists/albums that may interest you - a outstanding way to find new music you may like).
* Spine view - just as if your CDs were stacked on a shelf.
You lose none of the features of iTunes itself, including the capability to synchronise with an iPod. Changing song ratings within iTunes Album Browser will automatically be reflected in iTunes and your iPod, and vice versa.
If you are a REAL music fan and want to listen to music as it was intended, as full albums with tracks in the correct order, then this is the software for you. However, it's also possible to use it as a "jukebox", to mix and match different tracks from different albums as you require. It's also possible to collate "best of" albums by artist or genre, using your own personal ratings. The license of this audio & mp3 software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this Audio & MP3 software.
