MusicBee

Developed by Steven Mayall, the MusicBee application is meant for the Windows user who has an ever increasing music collection that he wants to manage with ease. Go get this application and you’ll be able to play your audio tracks, listen to online radio, play your podcasts, rip and burn discs, and keep all your music collection nicely organized. You get all this wonderful functionality for the great price of free.

You can install MusicBee on a PC powered by anything from XP up to Windows 8. To do so, you need to download a small archive, extract and run the executable inside, then follow the onscreen instructions presented by a setup wizard. When you’re done with the installation and you run MusicBee for the first time, you will be asked to select a preferred language (there are many, many to choose from) and create a music library (by scanning the folders of your choosing for audio tracks and artwork).

The MusicBee interface is customizable. You can choose what elements to be displayed on the interface, you can switch to a mini and compact player, you can pick a Theater Mode, you can pick one of several built-in skins. You are provided with several options to set up the interface so it meets your needs and suits your tastes.

For the awesome price of free, MusicBee has a lot of functionality to offer: browse your computer and play audio tracks, add tracks to the MusicBee library, keep all your audio tracks nicely organized, listen to online radio, view artwork, rip CDs, burn discs, let the Auto-DJ play tracks for you. All this functionality can be easily accessed and the simple truth of the matter is that you should access it if you have an ever increasing music collection.

MusicBee combines ease of use with powerful functionality and is a must have tool if you have a large and growing music collection.
