The Perfect Solution for Any Music Collection

The New MAGIX MP3 Deluxe MX Has All the Tools for Music Collection Organization

UK, March, MAGIX AG, One of the leading international providers of software, online services, and digital content, has announced the release of MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX.

These days it's easier than ever to have a huge collection of music, but organizing all of the songs can be a real challenge. The ideal solution is the new MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX. Along with the MP3-Converter, MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX has numerous useful tools for easily and quickly organizing and archiving even the largest music collections. This new version has an improved interface that provides a much clearer overview compared to its predecessor MP3 deluxe 17 and includes a program guide that lets users get the most from all of the amazing features.  The new search filter can be displayed horizontally or vertically depending on which view the user prefers for finding albums, tracks or genres. The ultimate program for organizing and converting music from smartphones, MP3 players, CDs and hard drives is now available for online for £39.99

Music collection organization made easy - Find duplicates and complete track info quickly and easily.  MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX offers a convenient way to keep low quality versions of songs from clogging up your hard drive. The duplicate track search scans the drive according to the ID3 tag category, file properties and audio characteristics and then lists the duplicates. They can then be easily identified and quickly deleted from the database or computer. Now, there are no more excuses for tracks with incomplete ID3 tags. Thanks to the new version's MP3 converter, all tracks can be tagged automatically with info from the file name. Moving the cursor over a song instantly shows the user whether the track has all the right tags and a quick click on the symbol that appears fills in the missing tags with info from freeDB or mufin audio ID.

In addition to helpful organization tools, MAGIX MP3 deluxe MX also offers great features for discovering music within a collection. Songs can be displayed in the traditional list format or in a whole new way with the integrated mufin vision feature that offers a Galaxy View to take users on a musical journey into space.

MAGIX developers have also made sure that the program start and all of the standard features such as CD import and MP3 converter run faster and are more stable. Users also have faster access to other programs like MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX which can be used to remove noise from tracks.  Thanks to the new "Share" MX feature, the user simply chooses the program and it opens automatically with the right track ready to go.

MAGIX MP3 Deluxe MX is available as a download only for £39.99
