Digital Audio File Manager Software

[Curtsong]

I'm looking for a software other than iTunes to manage my own growing library of music. I'm using iTunes for my music collection of almost 90K songs. I'd like a separate software to manage my own library. Any recommendations?

Thanks

If you are on a Mac, then AudioFinder might be worth a look. I use it for sample management mostly and find it really useful. For a personal song library, I could see the tagging feature being very helpful as well as the built in Sample Editor.

If you already have a daw, you may already have one built in. I have Cubase5 and Wavelab6, Cubase has mediabay, wavelab has audio database.

Thanks guys. I'm a PC user, really fast machine. Very happy with it. I'm using PreSonus' Studio One Pro. And I occasionally use Reason 7. I use Sony's Sound Forge for tagging all the metadata.

But, I'd just like to have a single go to software as my audio file manager. I like using iTunes, but, I'm so loaded with way too many songs in there.

I saw that BeatPort has a program they launched which looks perferct, but, it's for Mac only right now.

Have you looked at Windows Media Player? It's free, fairly easy, you can group your files by Album name, or use Playlists, or both, as well as other fields available for tagging.

I saw that Beatport has a pretty nice tagging feature which I'd like, but Windows Media Player is really doing a fair job for me as it is. I don't like it much for WAV files, but I store most everything as MP3, and I only mix to WAV or AIF or other types as specified by a specific library, or customer.

PS. I don't use Windows Media Center, I tried it a couple times and my DAW didn't seem to get along with it.

Thanks Jim,

I haven't thought of WMP. I don't know why. LOL. I will look into it. Appreciate the tip.

Best Regards.
