No support and destroyed cover art of +5000 files
kic--2008- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I can just agree with jetset101's opinion. I was using the program for almost a year now and it was running well it seemed. I reencoded ALL my CDs and it was really the best tool for batch renaming and applying cover art (if the encoding programs couldn't find the covers automatically). Since I wanted to have all tracks containing the same tags filled in, I touched almost all my mp3 songs with the program. All worked well as long as I only used iTunes. Cover art was displayed. Well, until I started to play my songs using Squeezebox Media Center (and later other programs). Almost all cover art was broken, i.e. the top third/half was ok, then the bottom part was only grey. I was really shocked because it was really a LOT of work to get everything perfect. Didn't have a clue how the art got corrupted. After lots of testing I finally came out with the following: I made a test mp3, a 440Hz tone only. Applied cover art using CoverScout. Displayed the cover art in many players - all perfect. Now I edited OTHER tags with MediaRage. Result: cover art was broken in the way I described above. Now I wrote a perl program which extracts the cover art to JPGs, extracted the 3 JPGs (mp3 without cover art: 0 bytes, mp3 with CoverScout's cover art: perfect JPG, mp3 with MediaRage's cover art: broken JPG. I packed the 3 mp3s and the 3 jpgs and sent it to their support. No response. Another try 2-3 weeks later. No response. Another try 3 weeks later. No response. So they really have NO support, and it is 100% SURE it is their program that destroyed almost 5000 files' cover art. Unless they react I cannot recommend this program AT ALL!
Still doesn't support international characters

I'd love to use this program to retag them, the albums are all in FreeDB (i've checked) but MediaRage can't display them. When it can, instant sale, but I told them about this a year ago and it still can't. Sorry guys, no sale.
Great!!! I love it.

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've used MP3 rage for a few years and decided to give this a try b/c itunes has really been getting on my nerves lately. Seems itunes has a problem giving mp3 tags and remembering aif tags if the songs were ripped in previous versions, which means manually entering the information all over again. Sheesh. Until now. The song lookup feature is worth the price of this software alone. Load your untagged song files, look up the album and tag away. Beautiful. Another awesome feature: artwork lookup. Nice interface and very effective. What a timesaver! Using an iMac Intel w/ OS 10.4.7, btw.
a must-have utility
pedro4ever- Pros

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've really enjoyed this application. The developer is very responsive. Great updates are provided frequently. This application is and has been a must-have for me for years (this, and it's preceding cousin mp3 rage). It's a perfect companion for iTunes, VLC, or any other media player. The plethora or features and capabilities seems to satisfy any need I have with regards to media files. Well worth the price.

Finally living up to MP3 Rage
Wooden Brain- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I used to rave and rave about MP3 Rage as an absolute necessity for serious music collectors. However, I was initially disappointed by Media Rage, because it lacked many features that MP3 Rage had. With the 2.0 release, and especially with the features list of 2.1, I venture to say taht Meda Rage has finally come of age! It's implemented 95% of the features of MP3 Rage, and added many more that MP3 Rage never had. Of course just for the multiple media support alone Media Rage was always worth having, but until now I couldn't call it a must. Now it is.
Thumbs up!
