Zortam Mp3 Media Studio for Windows

User Reviews

• A language limitation

  WeparicuaNovember 29, 2015

  Pros

  Can't really tell because I noticed a critical flaw as soon as I opened it so I closed right then.

  Cons

  Can not read Spanish accent marks. This means that all Spanish files would have to be rewriten for proper language.

  Summary

  Spanish limitations where a real dealbraker.

  August 3, 2015

  Cons

  Will only play MP3 files and wont play the popular wma files

• Bad Choice

  cabriMarch 26, 2014

  Pros

  It's free and, during the 3 day free trial of the Pro version customer service will try to answer questions.

  Cons

  There's NO help file. If you click Help they give you a choice of seeing a list on the website of things you're supposed to be able to do or of going to the forum and hoping to find something useful there. I couldn't get playlists made. The button to edit the tag turned a pretty blue, but did nothing else. It only searched my downloads from Amazon out of my Music folder. To get it o find anything else I had to have it search the whole computer- which resulted in having files like the music from video games in my music library. When I tried to delete things from the music library, they seemed to be deleted, but they were back the next time I opened the program.

  Summary

  At the end of three hours, and after communicating with customer service, I was tired, frustrated, and had a headache coming on. I had accomplished exactly nothing useful towards setting up the program so that it would work. I decided that Windows Media Player, for all its faults, is a better choice. I wish I could find something like the old MusicMatch Jukebox. It was simple and did a great job, but it won't run on the newer versions of Windows. :(

• Stay away if you are an international user

  tiagoseilerSeptember 26, 2013

  Pros

  Will read your tags and automatically add lyrics to mp3 id3 tags

  Cons

  Will f*** up your tags if you have special characters. Any type of accented character will be removed and the file will be saved, ruining your efforts to properly tag your files. STAY AWAY unless you only listed to US artists and songs.

• Best product for editing MP3's, but not for the novice.

  perskakrasFebruary 13, 2013

  Pros

  You can edit multiple MP3 files at once. Zortam has a pretty good online MP3 autotagger from then net (as long as you have an artist name and title; does not scan the audio like MusicBrainz Picard - wish they had this feature as well) You can also rename multiple file names in one swoop. Things don't change much from update to update. Not intended to be a MP3 player - more for a ID3 Tagger. Scrolling lyrics while music is playing.

  Cons

  BEWARE - some versions out there are BUGGY. Program crashes for no reason. Version 15.0, you can't move around the boxes. I am sure there will be a fix for that. Music player isn't the best but I do like the scrolling lyrics. Sometimes music player requires a separate license which sucks! Only works with MP3's. No other file formats. Don't like the "Normalize" feature - haven't had the best of luck with it.

  Summary

  I have been using this program for YEARS folks. It is a legitimate program. Some of the reviews say that this is a scam - it is not folks. Just want to clear that up. I have purchased the Pro about 6 years ago and it works like a charm every time I have to re-install it (on different computers). Once again, though, a new version comes out and has some bugs in it. Be sure to save older versions of this program and you should be fine. This program is not for newbies - you need to read the instructions on how to use it properly. I use it to manage my 500+GB audio files.

• Not for the novice

  aplusmiamiJune 13, 2012

  Pros

  It tagged and added lyrics to over 25000 mp3's I have in my library. Very useful tool.

  Cons

  Player is horrible. Needs some work. Luckily you can launch an external player of your choice.

  Summary

  If you are looking for something turn key.. this is not it. There is a definite learning curve.

• I have been using this software for four or more years.

  jlitzzaFebruary 20, 2012

  Pros

  Great control over almost every bit of MPs meta data. Great bility to name and attach relevant files and pictures. I Hold all of thoses negative reviews in complete disregard. Clearly there is something wrong with the reviewers systems or mind. This program does what you request of it, and apparently them requested something very wrong.

  Cons

  A little complicated,but not unlearnable. Older versions have had bug crashes, but most seem gone.

  Summary

  Great software, highly prized. I am truly an independent Pro version user but I have no idea who Zortam is or any relation to them.

• STOP !!!!!!

  Batmandwk2January 6, 2012

  Pros

  It sounded like a good program

  Cons

  This Program should be forced off the market !! It is 100 % Garbage It will take me days to get my files fixed again. It deleted my song file titles so now I have no Idea what they are, It put each song into it's own file so now I get to spend the day deleting empty files.

  Summary

  I Use Media Monkey Tried this thinking I could edit my files better, It was worse and when I uninstalled it it left my files a mess that will take me weeks for renaming and deleting. This program is trash !!!

• Bad Software update

  Leahcim7707August 21, 2011

  Pros

  I can't find anything good to say about this very mediocre software

  Cons

  It locks up the machine, doesn't provide the same results twice and it's tagging capabilities are non-existant.

  Summary

  After spending more time trying too convince my self I was wrong about this software, here's the update....I wasn't wrong, this stuff is junk. I had been using some free ware tagging programs and read the sales material on the Zortam and decided if the freeware was good, the Zortram should be better, because after all something you pay for is supposed to be better than something for free - right?? WRONG. This software doesn't stay loaded with the correct database, locks up the machine, comes up with different displays each time it reloads, which is about every time it is opened, which takes about 5 minutes to complete. I can recommend WinAmp, Tag Editor, Musicbranz because all of these free programs are better than this Zortam rip off. This was my second and final purchase of anything from Zortram.

• This was mediocre software, after upgrade is worthless

  Leahcim7707June 18, 2011

  Pros

  If you can live with something that works 50% of the time before it locks up, this is the software for you.

  Cons

  The software was marginal and then Zortram updated it, now it will lock up every time it is run and does not provide any results. It is impossible to go back to the previous version, so the software is now worthless. I am running Windows 7.

  Summary

  I don't believe any automatic music tagging software is as good as it is advertised to be, but this product doesn't come close to performing the way it is represented. There is no customer support, it is just "buy and take your chances" software, so if you want to waste time trying to get some results for the money you spent on the software, this is the product for you. If you want something that works and does what it is advertised to do, stay away from this line of software. Great promises, but I wanted something that would do something more than lock up and stop running. One further thing, this company collects sales tax for your state, however when I checked with my state, they did not have a sales tax license, so they are ripping consumers off for that as well. That was my first clue that this was going to be a problem.
