Publisher's description of The GodFather

From Dimitris Touzozoglou:

If you own many MP3, OGG, MPC, or APE files, then you know it's easier to end up with a chaotic bunch of files with strange names in wrong locations, than to have an organized collection wherein every file is in the right place, with a perfect name and tag information. The GodFather puts order to chaos and puts you in control. No more strange file names and endless searches for "that song"--you can rename songs, update tags, restructure files on your hard disk, create and merge playlists, encode or decode with LAME/Ogg Vorbis/MPCEnc, and export and import to or from a file and play.

Editor's review of The GodFather

3.0 stars

This program organizes your music at no cost, but it has its share of problems. The Godfather can rename and reorder files, find duplicates, edit ID3 tags, create playlists, and restructure your music library. However, it doesn't automatically scan your PC for audio files the way some competitors do, forcing you to point the program to a folder, then hit the Scan button. The program's interface is cluttered, nonintuitive, and tough to use. For example, it took us a few minutes to figure out how to queue up a playlist, which should be a simple affair. Also, the duplicate finder was far from perfect, flagging many false results. The program's Library tab lets you browse and organize music by parameters such as artist, decade, genre, rating, and album. Folks with large music libraries might appreciate The Godfather, but many other users will opt to organize their music files with their jukebox of choice.

"Too powerful for it's own good?"

by dskeeles on November 22, 2006

Pros: Provides access to multiple music databases, and parses output. Very many editing features.

Cons: Made the task of organising my collection, an album at a time, even slower than manual editing. Manual tag editing is one screen, batch editing another, renaming another. Edits require an "Apply" button and "Update" button, slowing the workflow even more. After struggling through 10 albums I gave up and switched to MP3Tag, which was much quicker in use. I didn't try any playback, etc. features.

"Easy to use after learning"

by pseudoswede on October 12, 2006

Pros: I use this program solely for renaming music files and editing mp3 tags. It does the job quickly.

Cons: Not the easiest program to figure out. Once you do, though, it's a breeze to do batch updates.

"Extremely powerful, non-intuitive interface"

by jd_999 on August 11, 2008

Pros: Extremely powerful tools for keeping your MP3 (or other format) music library in tune and organized. The GodFather is a mandatory addition to my utility library.

Cons: The UI is non-intuitive, but once learned it makes its own kind of sense. Not for the faint of heart or those not willing to put some time into the process.
