Nowadays, digital audio files are widely used. That's because they are much more convenient than audio CDs, they have a small size, while their quality is very good. Audio CDs have a lot of downsides, for example they are not so reliable, as even a smaller scratch can ruin a great album and they also have a limited size, allowing only a few songs to be added to it. In case of a user having a huge library of music files, it's vital to have a software that can organize and handle all these songs. A software for doing this would be Helium Music Manager. As the name states, it's a program that can easily manage all the user's music collection, making it easy to look for a certain song, album or artist.

The software has a straightforward setup process that gets the job done in matter of seconds. It can run on most versions of Windows, ranging from XP to Windows 7. If Windows Vista or 7 is used, the installation process can add a widget to the desktop that allows easily accessing the program's functions. The program takes up about 15 MB of hard disk space and requires an average computer configuration in order to run.

Speaking about the program's interface, despite the fact that it has a large amount of settings and features, it's very easy to use, as all these options are correctly placed, being easy to get to. Running the program for the first time will display a wizard with which the user can import his music collection into the program, for having it organized. The software can also rip an audio CD and automatically import all its tracks and can even import already made playlists from various programs, like Winamp or iTunes.

After importing the desired music folders into the program, Helium Music Manager will start analyzing each track. After the process is finished, the user can access the music using various criteria, like the song name, artist, album, release year, genre and so on. In case one adds more music to his collection, the program can automatically update its library to include the newly added songs.

The interface is basically organized in two sections, the first one containing various criteria for organizing music and the other displaying the songs that correspond to a selected criteria. The program's functionality doesn't limit to managing and organizing music, as it can do much more than that. It can edit the tag information for various song formats, it can create playlists with the user's preferred music, it can even rename files using certain settings.

Searching for a song couldn't be easier with Helium Music Manager, as the software can look for songs using various settings, like the artist's name, the name of the song, the album's name and so on. Audio files can be converted from a format to another, can be analyzed to make sure they don't contain any errors and can even be used for creating audio CDs or data DVDs. An important feature of Helium Music Manager is the possibility to synchronize music with popular devices, like iPod and iPhone, in which case there is no need for an additional software for doing this, like iTunes.

In case an audio file is too big to fit on a single CD or it contains more than one song, Helium Music Manager can easily split it using a CUE file or manually. Besides organizing music, Helium Music Manager can also act as an audio player, featuring various controls and also a visualizer, featuring some visual effects, with the possibility to add more from the producer's website.

Pros

It can easily organize music using various criteria, like the artist's name, song title, genre, album name and so on. Besides that, it can burn audio CDs and data DVDs using audio files. Furthermore, audio files can be converted from a format to another, each of them having its own quality settings. Last but not least, the program can synchronize music with various popular devices, like the iPod or iPhone, eliminating the need for additional software for doing this.

Cons

The large amount of settings and features may confuse a first time user. Helium Music Manager is a complete music management software that has all the features a user might need for efficiently organizing and managing his music collection.
