MP3db – The MP3-Database

new 2014 revised version

Organize your MP3 collection in a database

Shareware - for Windows XP to Windows 11 (32 and 64-bit)

This program scans your harddrives or CD-ROMs for audio files and reads the embeded meta information (title, artist, album, etc.) into a database.

With the search capabilities of a database program you can find a title in seconds and enqueue or play it or launch your preferred audio player application, e.g. WinAmp.

This software is fun when you already have collected a large number of MP3 files. It also helps to print CD-ROM labels and finds duplicate files using the FuzzyDupes engine.

Best Sound Quality

MP3db uses the BASS Audio Engine by Un4seen.com. BASS is well known for it's very best sound quality in audiophile circles.

Then MP3db supports playback over the ASIO interface. This sends the signal directly to the soundcard, without any resampling applied by the Windows mixer. You should hear the difference. If use a professional soundcard, the ASIO drivers should already be installed on your system. Other soundcards can use the free ASIO4ALL driver to enhance the quality of sound.

Wikipedia says: "an unmixed ASIO output is "bit identical" or "bit perfect"; that is, the bits sent to or received from the audio interface are identical to those of the original source, thus having higher audio fidelity." MP3db does not use any internal mixer and outputs the signal without any re-sampling. For a seamless play-back, the next title is always prefetched in another thread.

The BASS engine offers additional Add-Ons for free download, that cannot be distributed with this software for patent reasons. Copy BASS_AC3.dll and BASS_AAC.dll to the MP3db program folder, to be able to playback these formats.

Endless Music Enjoyment through the Party-Mode

In Party-Mode (endless playback), the programm adds random titles from the database. If you choose a favorite track during party-mode playback (by double-click or enter-key), this title will be inserted at the next play position. Listen to your own music as to a radio station, or use this mode in gastronomy or with guests at home.

Dynamic Amplifying and Compressor

DAMPing (Dynamic Amplifying) gently adjusts the sound to a constant level. At home with guests or when using this software in a restaurant or bar, you can create a pleasing ambiance.

The database offers you functionality to organize your music clearly arranged. This is, what only a real database can offer. And you don't need to put in too much effort, because all information is already stored inside the files. This database is also designed to work with large music collections.
