forth these words of wisdom:

>Hello,
>can somebody please recommend me an mp3 music manager - a piece of
>software similar to e.g. iTunes or Helium Music Manager - which fulfils
>the following requirements:
>
>* Ability to browse the whole collection by artist, album, title (and
>possibly genre, mood, etc.)
>* Ability to easily assign songs to categories (e.g. "party", "work"
>etc.)
>* Ability to automatically recognize files as "recently added" so that
>I can easily listen to newly acquired music
>* Ability to handle the track number id3 information
>
>Nice to have would be an integrated manager for mp3 tagging (from/to
>filenames etc.), and a good player as well.
>
>I don't like Helium because I find the user interface not yet matured -
>e.g. I never figured out how to use custom categories. iTunes is a
>no-go as I don't want to install a software which takes over the
>computer - besides it is a 32MB download for a relatively simple
>task...
>
>Thank you!
