MPEG Audio Collection is designed to organize your audio file collection. It is fast and easy to use, scans selected drives for supported audio files and lists them in an Explorer-style tree-view interface. You can retrieve all information about your audio collection and you can play files as well. There are some nice features like a Tag editor, file renamer utility etc.
MAC is different from the others MP3 managers, because it has been developed mainly to manage CDs with MP3 and other files. MAC supports the MPEG Audio format (*.mpa, *.mp1, *.mp2, *.mp3), MPEGplus (*.mp+, *.mpc), Windows PCM (*.wav), TwinVQ (*.vqf), Ogg Vorbis (*.ogg), Monkey's Audio (*.mac, *.ape), Windows Media Audio (*.wma), AAC (*.aac), WavPack (*.wv), FLAC (*.flac), and OptimFROG (*.ofr) files. Supported Operating Systems: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP Features: - Support for MPEG Audio, MPEGplus, WAV, TwinVQ, Ogg Vorbis, Windows Media Audio, AAC, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, FLAC and OptimFROG files - Option to include all (even non-audio) files in collection - File info: size, length, bit rate, sample rate, mode, version, layer - Reads all types of tags (ID3, APE, Vorbis Comment...) - Collection, volume and folder information - Quick searching for file name, property, Tag or duplicates - Searching in collection or on a drive - Saving search results - Playing file(s) with its associated application - Creating playlists for volumes and folders - Tag editor (writes ID3v1, ID3v2, APEv2 and Vorbis Comment tags) - Support Xing & FhG VBR - Auto open last collection option - Importing from another collection (COL file) - Support for very big collections (300 CD's and more) - Updating existing volumes - Several collection reports (TXT, HTML, DIF) - Multilingual interface - 33 languages implemented - Printing CD-covers - File Rename utility - easy and powerful, using tags |

In order to scan drive for MP3 files click "Edit" -> "Add volume".
What is VBR?
It is short for "Variable bit rate". Some MP3 encoder support this. If there are very complex parts in a song it will use a quite high bit rate and e.g. on silence or easy parts it will use a lower bit rate. So usually the average bit rate will be not as high as the bit rate of an MP3 of the same quality with constant bit rate.
When MAC lists my MP3's, some of the songs have an incorrect time.
Depending on how the MP3 files were encoded, this can happen. If they were encoded incorrectly or by using a software application that does not perform this task properly, the internal track time in the MP3 file may be incorrect.
I have installed MAC and I do not know why I can not search for files, the command "Search" appears in gray.
At first you should add a volume to the database ("Edit" -> "Add volume"), then you can search for MP3's in your database.
MAC does not play any of my MP3's, it seems not to load my default MP3 player.
MP3 files must be linked with a player. You can test it: just double click on a MP3 file in MS-Explorer. If it goes to play, then MAC can do it as well. If not - you should assotiate MP3 with a player.
How am I going to save my MP3 library into a file, where songs are individually described, like song name, album and everything like this?
Click "Collection" -> "Report".
How to print out the list of my files?
At first you should make a report ("Collection" -> "Report"). Then you can print out the created file (TXT or HTML).
