If your music collection has grown too much, then it's time to start using a manager. Even if you're not a big fan of this kind of apps (just like me) you'll find they're extremely helpful to keep your music collection perfectly organized, no matter how much it grows.

Magix Music Manager 2007 is the perfect example of a well-done music manager. In fact, it's so complete you feel overwhelmed by all the options displayed on its interface. Luckily enough it only takes a few minutes to create your own database and start adding music.

Besides the usual features in these apps, such as a tag editor, an embedded player or a 10-band equalizer, Magi Music Manager includes other interesting extra functions like the possibility to record CD and DVD or a simple, yet convenient mini DJ console to play and mix two tracks simultaneously in real time and direct access to Internet radios and podcasts, as well as support for portable music devices.

Unfortunately, I was so excited to see such a wide variety of tools that the nagging window that appears when you try to use many of them really pissed me off. I know this is a trial version and that you're expected to buy the full application, but I prefer to have an fully functional app during a limited period of time rather than a crippled tool that leaves me yearning for more.
