First of all, please note that the freeware version 16-40 available at many websites, is crippled. There are many features you cannot use and when you try to, it asks you to buy the Pro version; which is given away here today. For those who want try the freeware portable version, you have to install it into a USB drive and not onto any network hard disk.
...................................

Downloaded & installed this GOTD Pro Version. It automatically activated.
Tested the software.

I must thank Zortam + GOTD for letting us try it out without having to buy first.

In my opinion, the overall result is: FAIL.

Reasons:
• The user interface is too busy.
• It is evident that the programmer is not clear what he is trying to create, so he does a little bit of everything (and not very well too).
• This is an common software-development-project failure. There is no clear sense of focus and direction. What do you want us to program boss? Oh, just throw a little of everything in, try to give "value for money" by giving every feature.
• The Zortam database of songs is woefully inadequate.
• It named the Artiste, Year, Genre and Album all wrongly.
• It requires you to first have a correct IDTag on the music file, in order to be more accurate. Which is nonsense. If I already have such, then I do not need this software to do ID tagging.
• The menu, key commands and mouse commands to do anything with the music files is not intuitive. Highly confusing.
• There is over emphasis on CD cover images.
• Other online utilty or off-line software with ability to link with and identify songs from GraceNote is much superior to Zortam MP3 Media Studio Pro.
• A built-in Z player is included for you to hear the songs. But the problem is the confusing User Interface leads to the song being played when you want to do something else.
• There is a facility for you to manually edit and type in the correct IDTag fields to a music/song file.

Since this software is highly confusing, not accurate in IDtag and not useful, I will uninstall it immediately after leaving this comment.

This program constantly crashed when attempting to update database or retrieve song lyrics. I had previous used this software when it was previously given away. But it disabled the player so the software became worthless.

Thought I would give it another try but this was even worse. I was running Windows 7, Home Edition 64 bit.

Unfortunately, the program does not start. Installed in but will not start - reinstall did not help: (

I installed on Windows XP SP2, but it doesn't work, the exe file shows in task manager for 2 seconds. Nothing else is shown.

When running the player, it shows a DLL error.

Please fix this bug, and give us a new opportunity to download in GiveAwayOfTheDay

down loaded and installed okay, tried it on some music files which were already tagged now they are a total mess ie;- most of my Dave Bowie songs have been tagged as The greatest hits albums and the same as my Aerosmith

avoid or it will cost you alot of time to retag your music
