GuenMat Tools

This software is a utility for managing a musical collection.
Among its main features:
• Allows parallel convertion of all audio files in a folder in MP3 format (about 128 bits, 44100Hz, VBR)
• Maintains existing ID3Tag (except images).
• Adds an image (cover forehead) to an ID3Tag if a "folder.jpg" file is in the root folder of the audio file.
• The source folder structure is preserved, as well as all non-audio files (images, pdfs ...). Thumbs.db files and AlbumSmallArt.jpg will be deleted.
