Phelix


Phelix is a new audio-matching program that identifies duplicate and similar-sounding songs by listening to songs with a selected folders and comparing the audio.

The application: Phelix's primary application is to free up computer memory being wasted on duplicate files without being limited to data- or name-recognition programs. The limitations of those programs are this. Data cataloguing programs are prone to interpretive errors; one artist may have many files data catalogued as identical. Name cataloguing will recognize files as being identical regardless of studio vs. remix vs. live differences. Phelix finds identical songs by "listening" to the sounds in the selected folder. Once a folder has been completely sound-catalogued, the user has the option of removing duplicates. By listening to the songs, Phelix also makes a separately compared table of similar-sounding music files. The uses of this near-match function are only limited by the user's imagination. In addition to audio matcher Phelix also match ordinary properties, like tags, paths and data. Ordinary matcher has long tradition: is proven, fast, intelligent and with many options.

The name: Phelix is a new word combining phonos (ancient Greek for sound) with helix (the shape of DNA). Just as the Genome Project endeavors to isolate and catalogue the different properties of the genetic make-up of human beings, Phonome Labs has created an application for measuring and cataloguing the sonic code of your music folders.

The user: The Phelix user is a serious music collector with an extensive audio library. The Phelix user is concerned with maximizing the integrity of his music folder and the operation of his computer. Laptop DJs and composers will love the freedom Phelix gives them by eliminating redundancies, whereas catalog purists will love the intense attention the application gives to identifying similarities in their music folder.

Music Trio


Groovy software three-pack for music aficionados.

Music Trio, as the name indicates, is "essentialware" for a real music fan. It consists of three independent modules. One of Music Trio users called it "the Holy Trinity of digital music software" and that is probably the best short description for the product one could possible come up with.

The first Music Trio component is AudioConverter Studio and it's basically an audio CD grabber and music file converter combined. AudioConverter Studio offers a one-click grabbing option, and can rip and convert an audio CD to MP3, WMA, FLAC and OGG files in well under 10 minutes even on the older and slower PCs. The conversion goes both ways for mp3, wma, ogg and wav files. CDPLAYER.INI and M3U and PLS playlists are supported.

To edit MP3 tags, one can use the second component called mp3Tag. This MP3 tag editor is capable not only of editing tags for MP3, wma and other music files, but actually can automatically fill the missing tags by accessing FreeDB and Amazon.com. Internet access and one mouse click, and the program returns track1, track2, track3 files with their appropriate names. Other handy functions include batch renaming/editing, lyrics/pictures support, "unused" MP3 file deletion option and other perks.

Media Catalog Studio is the name of the third component. It's a multimedia organizer that systematizes and categorizes all audio and video files stored on your hard-drive, CDs, DVDs, tapes and any other types of storage media. This media organizer is especially helpful for folks who have hundreds or thousands of media files stored on multiple CDs, DVDs and other storage devices, and need a fast way to locate a file of interest.
