musicIP (as a player): wow

Good news.
It support replay gain (album and track), using the command line:
http://www.musicip.com/mixer/commandline.jsp
It uses the BASS engine (same as xmplay).
I'm still amazed at how fast the database searches are... click on the album panel, start typing, and you have 'live' search...
It is portable, i.e., you can copy the folder to an USB drive and it's ready to go.
It can configure keyboard shortcuts with the simplest method (why oh why other apps don't use this?): just put a txt file in the folder with the kb combo and the action, separated by tabs. That's it.
It has audioscrobbler support.
It writes some interesting tags (you can look at them with foobar) that can be useful to do sorting/searching outside musicIP.
It can start working (giving recommendations) without finishing analyzing your tracks.

It feels like musikCube but with cover art and a lot snappier.

Bad news: doesn't support cuesheets yet. I'm considering spliting all my cue files into independent tracks, let me know if you know a good, fast method for doing this.

It has it's own syntax for tagging (I was getting used to Tagz already).
Not a huge community (although active forums and developer!)

I have registered it (wil report on the advanced features later).

Lashiec:
Memory usage is tiny compared with basically anything else (even virtual memory) : mediamonkey, foobar, even XMplay (!).

Wasn't this included as a plugin in Winamp?

@urlwolf:

CUE Splitter - A CUE file splitter for Windows. Support: MP3, APE, FLAC, WAVE.
CUE Splitter is a freeware tool that split a single big audio track, mostly an album or a compilation, into the relative individual audio tracks, using informations contained in the associated "CUE" file. Sometimes you can find a big compressed audio file (for example MP3, APE, FLAC, OGG, WAV, WMA, etc...) equipped with a small "CUE" text file that contain informations about tracks title, artist and length. Usually these couple of files are generated by programs like EAC (Exact Audio Copy), CDRWin, BPM Studio, GoldWave or similar.With CUE Splitter you can obtain splitted audio track files without burn any CDR or decode/re-encode any audio data! Moreover audio files are automatically named using a user-defined "file mask" string, it's tags are filled with informations extracted from "CUE" file and, optionally, an M3U playlist file can be generated (option enabled by default). CUE Splitter is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

BTW if you enjoy revolutionary software you should definately check musicIP out:

or instance, you might create a file called Happy.m3u and store 10 songs which make you feel happy. After saving this in the Moods directory, you can choose Moods/Happy from the menu bar, and MusicIP Mixer will automatically create a new playlist which reflects those songs.

A "binary" mood file is stored as a .m3mood file instead of a .m3u file - the difference is that the .m3mood file contains a binary description of your mood. You can swap .m3mood files with your friends, and they will be able to make mood mixes based off your original playlist, but using songs from their collections.

Also something I have never seen before is the 'scan button'. Press the green button with the man walking icon on it and it will preview files, click on it again when you hear something you like and musicIp will create a mix based on this.  :up:

Thanks justice.

I'm using the almighty foobar for that. It's the only one that understands all file formats, incluing .TAK (latest and fanciest lossless format, that of course I tried).

Foobar can even transcode to more than one format at the same time (e.g. FLAC to TAK and OGG) using MAREO:

Note: MusicIP seems to be able to even auto-fix your tags.
If this works half-way decent, it'd be like picard done right... which would be huge. My collection is in pretty good shape, but I know people who have tremendous messes, who would be blessed by such a thing...
