Today is the heyday of MP3’s , we have moved far beyond a small collection of a ripped song or two grabbed from the internet to an age where most of us have hundreds or even thousands of MP3’s saved in our PCs.

Unfortunately our collections of MP3 music files have become a bit of a mess in our PCs. Finding our favorites musics or sound clips to upload to our MP3 players or IPods’ is frustrating and time consuming, and that is IF we can actually find the music we are looking for. Organizing MP3 files stored in our PCs could take days of tedious searching and sorting. Certainly this is the job for an automated MP3 file manager.
