mufin player 2.5-More intelligent than Genius?

*mufin player* is a music suggestion service for your Windows PC desktop. The
mufin player is another attempt at an alternative to iTunes. Its unique
selling point is the similarity tool, which analyzes your library to create
playlists of music that relate conceptually to one another. The playlist
creation on mufin player does seem much better than iTunes' Genius feature,
as it actually looks at the music itself, not just the meta data. The
downside of that is the initial scanning of your library can take quite a
long time if you have a large music collection. Importing with mufin player
also takes a little longer because of this. mufin player's design is great,
although if you don't like orange, there are no ways to customize the
interface's colors. The controls in mufin player are chunky and look cool.
The side bar is really clear, but there is nothing innovative about it.
Unfortunately, mufin player has no equalizer, and does seem a little heavy on
resources compared to iTunes. It is also difficult to see which playlist you
are currently viewing. mufin player will also recommend tracks from its
online database, and you can listen to excerpts from these. However,
sometimes a "there are currently no similar tracks for this piece" message
will pop up, which isn't very helpful. *The playlist creation feature in
mufin player is impressive, but overall don't expect iTunes to be losing any
sleep (or users) over it yet.*Download *mufin player 2.5* in Softonic
