Muso 1.3.21-A more flexible way to browse your music collection

Posted on 4:31 PM by Unknown

It's difficult to define a program like Muso. It's not a player, nor a playlist manager. It's more like an alternative user interface to manage your music collection.

Once you've imported your music into Muso (either selecting individual folders on the hard drive, or your iTunes library), you'll be able to manage your collection in a much more flexible way. Muso lets you browse complete albums or individual songs, and also sort or filter music by artist, year, rating and other criteria.

Muso includes an advanced tagging system – even with support for mood tags –, as well as the ability to group albums under the same artist, even if the artist's name has slight spelling differences. The program includes album covers and information downloaded from Last.fm, Wikipedia and Amazon to display highly detailed pages about your favorite artists.

Like I said before, Muso is not a player in itself, but it can be linked to other third-party players like iTunes and Winamp. The link enables you to control the player from Muso's interface and also displays the song currently playing, but nothing else. There's a cool feature to generate random playlists, but Muso won't allow you to interact with them in any way – they'll just be added to your player.

Muso works great as an alternative interface to browse your music collection. Too bad it doesn't include playback features!
