• Awesome Media Jukebox

  Rulandas9/13/2011

  Pros

  Seems good to me. The feature that made me like this jukebox more then others is showing the lyrics of the song being played... thats awesome idea. also plays much more formats then some ******* piece of **** software that it looks alike...

  Cons

  you would always want something more

• May be great for Apples, not my Vista machine

  Shery P10/6/2010

  Pros

  It allows you to use your iPod and iPhone

  Cons

  When I UPGRADE, I have a mess to clean up. I wish there were an alternative to this piece of junk. It finally upgrades iTunes, then QT must be uninstalled-reinstalled. It is a resource hog, it syncs stuff already on, it doesn't delete from my iPhone

  Summary

  Impossible

• Sounds better in theory than in practice.

  18cdbob188/2/2010

  Pros

  Sounds great in two ways (a) seems to get the best out of your audio card, and (b) by focusing only on audio features, this player/tagger sounds like it can concentrate on doing a handful of things well.

  Cons

  Hard to tell after just a few hours working with it. Lots of online info, but much of it reads less like a tutorial than a sales pitch -- telling you what it can do rather than how to do it the easiest way. Java-basics also need better explanation.

  Summary

  I love its audio-only focus but never having mastered a Java-based program before, I will only make this my primary music app if the time needed to learn it turns out to be worth it. The architecture behind aTunes will fascinate programmers. But as a person just interested in organizing my music in a faster manner, this may or may not be a dazzler for me. I am hopeful but not convinced.

• Very good music manager-player

  BMENON7/20/2009

  Pros

  An impressively useful and friendly audio player and music organizer.Those who used Real Player,iTunes or Songbird will find lots of plus-points in aTunes(new vn.1.13.2).The main attraction is its very ease to use UI.Its "Magma" skin is spectacular.

  Cons

  Nothing found so far,except that it takes around 70000K of memory,but it is normal for a variety entertainment software with many features to run.

  Summary

  It is a very good, free GPL entertainment software.aTunes has better easy-to-understand and user-manageable features ,when compared to the open-source Songbird and other similar ones.Sound output is also found normal when compared with other such Players.

• Disappointing

  welshlion6/19/2009

  Pros

  Looks good, compiles the library quickly and efficiently.

  Cons

  Sounds awful...the graphic equaliser is a complete waste of time.

  Summary

  If it wasn't for the lack of quality when playing music this would be worthy of the 5 stars this site's editors gave it!

• cannot download

  randysvh2/9/2009

  Pros

  Well it is likely this is a great product, but when you cannot download the program it is very hard to test or evaluate it value or merits. When attempting to download the program it comes up as a 3 with no extension of any kind.

  Cons

  unknown - other than unable to test

  Summary

  cannot download a "3"<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 21, 2009<p/>once i managed to download and install this program it makes for a good replacement of the itunes. It is unfortunate that when i originally tried to download this file it did not work. Now, it downloads, installs, and works well as designed. Not sure if i like the Java requirement, but otherwise seems to be a good tool. I have not used this with an ipod and not likely will any time soon. If you are looking for an apple itunes alternative, give it a try. randy

• Great Player

  lostkiwi1/21/2009

  Pros

  Catalogued 9,000 songs quickly. Love the window with lyrics, albums and similar music. Easy to find duplicate songs and delete them. Lyric grabbing was fast and good to see. Works well on Windows 2000.

  Cons

  Editing song titles and info leaves a bit to be desired, iTunes does this much better. The ability to copy lyrics and paste into the lyric box when tagging would be good.

  Summary

  Best open source/freeware program that I have tried so far, doesn't lock up and seems cleaner than iTunes. Ability to use with iPod would be great. Will be interesting to see improvements to editing and also a mini player would be good. Very happy.

• Best jukebox I've ever used

  netmasterjohn8/10/2008

  Pros

  I'm not sure what's up with all of the negative reviews - this is the best jukebox I've ever used - simple installation, easy tag editing, easy sorting and organizing of playlists, automatic lyric display, one click video finding plus loads more...

  Cons

  None that I have found yet

  Summary

  Awesome software - well worth installing - handled my collection flawlessly, allowed me to finally clean up all the tags on my MP3s quickly and easily and it's great for a party with simple playlist creation and lyric display - along with the ability to display complete band history, similar songs/albums, videos from youtube and more.
