Tool with numerous weaknesses

Disadvantages:
- The installers and patches are flawed and damaging existing versions
- Program is unstable and crashes constantly from or you can not start or do not finish
- The program is slow and takes forever long until it's loaded (Is definitely not the hardware)
- The title search has an error which prevents that can be successively searched repeatedly in the same location for years. Have the reported twice the support and then, however, get the patches not solve the problem. If the error in the new version.
- Search results (hit list) are incomplete - it just happens displayed results (cross-checked in other programs, there is the same search carried out correctly)
- Threaded can not scroll (Error), selecting always goes back to the beginning, thus not accessible to certain folders.
- The support is absolutely incapable in my view. There are constantly shipped any standard answers. With not a single remark of support responds to the real problem.
- The cover assignment is a joke. There are either displayed no or false cover. Even with newly purchased titles. In addition, the latest version is no cover from the internet can be searched for, what one could well ask for in this price range.
- Managing playlists is an impertinence. Playlists are for export of titles eg on MP3 players of great importance, at least if you want to listen to songs in a particular order. Then you could on the software side ever offer a little comfort and sometimes the bugs removed (sorting unit continuously messed up lists disappear simply because there is no possibility to save them, not a targeted access (search a specific PL) on lists

Benefits:
Now that I've looked at the alternatives to MP3 Maker (Audio Expert and Media Monkey) more closely, I must say there are missing some key features that are supported in MP3 Maker, insofar a transition should be carefully considered:
- Automatic monitoring of folder structure: This ensures that the music library is automatically synchronized with the content of files on the hard disk. I wonder what else? What a sense it should result if folders or files are displayed in the Music Management, which no longer exist on the FP and new files are missing, because no reconciliation was made?
- File operations: MP3 Maker provides an easy and convenient way to copy files via the context menu and move. (This is obvious, but the function seems really only MP3 Maker to know)
- Drag & Drop: Move files from other applications (eg iTunes) in the folder structure via Drag & Drop

Conclusion: Comparing iTunes, MP3 Maker Audio Expert and MediaMonkey, you realize that you need actual all 4 programs to sort out larger music library, and to keep the music library up to date. All programs have over the comparative advantages and disadvantages of solutions. One naturally wants a program that contains all features but it does not seem to give. Even if one now uses all the programs you need still further FreeCommander for convenient file operations.

I summarize the significant advantage of programs I tested once
- MP3 MAKER: good file management, folder watching
- Audio Expert: speed, song text search, search album art, playlist management
- MediaMonkey: speed, stability, playlists, convenient and quick search of titles
- ITunes: access to the shop, playlist management acceptable to drag and drop to external programs, MP3 conversion, reliable import and tagging CDs
- FreeComander: Of all the programs mentioned here that really only viable tool for file management
