To sum up, Music Bee is a complete music manager and a player with all the tools and features you need to enjoy your music! The program also offers beautiful skins for you to customize its look and feel. MusicBee is an excellent alternative to iTunes, but not the only one (see Winamp or MediaMonkey). Oh, and in case you're wondering: yes, you can use MusicBee to play and sync the music on your iPod and other MP3 players, so don't you think it's worth a try? It lets you import music from Windows folders and from your iTunes or Windows Media Player libraries, includes a handful of visualizer effects, can be easily controlled with keyboard hotkeys and features a really cool AutoDJ tool that creates playlists for you right on the spot. It plays all forms of media, but for me, I value it for its amazing music management, and its tag editing and reading abilities, including lyrics and multiple album artwork.


The latter requires the Lame encoder, however, and you have to download that separately. I have also helped quite a bit with its development over the years. Besides listening to music and organizing your collection in a proper way – thanks to the MusicBee's impressive tool to find tags, artwork and lyrics - MusicBee also includes a few handy utilities, such as CD ripper and a file converter.
