MusicBee 1.2.3861 Beta

If you are looking for an application geared toward managing extensive music collections, easy to use and with a comprehensive feature set – MusicBee is that application.

MusicBee makes it easy to organize, find and play music files on your computer, on portable devices and on the web.

Features:
* Organize music files and edit tags in your library with a powerful and easy to use interface.

* Play and Sync iPods and MP3 players, converting and levelling tracks on-the-fly.
* Create dynamic playlists based on your own rules.
