Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With useful added features and an intuitive, attractive interface AlbumPlayer does a great job organizing your music collection. The extensive and configurable catalog includes options for building an album CD, printing an album CD, and creating an HTML index (though only serious music collectors who post this sort of information to a Web site will need that last feature). You can manually enter album information or have the program download it from the Internet. There's also a feature for pulling cover art from Amazon.com, but it's a bit wonky (it won't always replace existing cover art, so you may have to clear your image before downloading a new one from Amazon.com). You can sort collections by artist name, album title, track list, or date of addition. Skins and configuration options allow you to give the program a whole new look. Overall, we think AlbumPlayer will be quite useful for people with large music collections.Publisher's description

Version: AlbumPlayer 4.3e
"Perfect for a Living Room Media PC"
Pros: Finally someone got it right. Ive been waiting for a program that does exactly what Albumplayer does: allows me (or my guests) to play my music collection like we all used to pick CD's - by recognizing the cover. In this day and age we all have a plethora of MP3s.. if I am any indication we probably have too many and only end up listening to a small portion. Why? Because we simply dont even remember what music we even have. Albumplayer helps remedy this problem by putting a face on every album, a face that we can recognize much faster than we can read and process a title.
1) Overall the software is very well done and is constantly improving with every version.
2) The interface is visually and functionally slick. Everything is right where it should be.
3) It is also able to download the album covers you're missing automatically or use the ones you might alread have in the directory.
4) Last FM support is nice if you want to keep an online log of your playlists.
5)Great for parties. The interface is so intuitive even more so than even iTunes. By seeing all the different album covers your friends will immediately get intrigued and want to add their own music (which might actually be a con if you labor on your playlists for hours as i do!)
Cons: 1) Sometimes when you start the program, there are some weird XML errors to which you can just click ok. This might be only in my beta version, im not sure.
2) This isn't really a Con but it would be absolutely incredible if the program could highlight the biggest hits on every album or at least allow the user to "star" certain favorite songs. That way at a party one could still have the entire album there, but have only the hit songs playing.
