Alternatives to explorer

[ident]

Not a browser but explorer. It's for my mp3. It's the easiest way to order things, but explorer has a habbit of crashing when viewing the content.

 

Ideas, suggestions......

A bloated media player with folder views built in. However they may just be using the Explorer.exe process for this.

 

If you want to know all sorts of statistics about your mp3's and other audio you could give Foobar2000 a try, you can even have the installer extract it as a portable version which won't register any filetypes, etc. And even if the default way it looks isn't to your fancy there's bound to be a plugin for it or theme.

Xenon

I use the Portableapps version.

This! I personally use this, it's nice to be able to sort and search by different criteria such a label, year, artist, etc (anything really). It will require lots of configuration, but you can sort playlists by any criteria you want, you can also browse folders in a list view with a standard component, or try out the "Facets" component.

Thanks all. Just trying xenon, but think i might try make a little something of my own.

 

I have tryed using media players before to sort my music out, but i just dont get on with them.

I've used and can recommend FreeCommander, Cubic Explorer, Unreal Commander(I very much like this one)

Then there's Xplorer 2 Free version. Used it before.

If you mean how iTunes and WMP sort they're both in my opinion weird, Foobar2000 however doesn't sort in a weird fashion.

That's included with Bart PE, the problem with it though is it states folders are empty when wanting the properties even if they're full of files.

In that case il give it a look & report back

I forgot about Mp3tag! If you're wanting info about your audio files and the ability to tag them individually or in mass, look at and apply album art, etc., it's perfect and freeware.
