many selected files based on their ID3 tags, set ID3 tags in mass for
selected files with options for copying ID3s from other files and
leaving some ID3 fields untouched, rename _ to space and vice versa,
create HTML and text indexes of your collections (including total
playing time, etc., configurable through templates), create nice CD
covers with full listings of your music files (also configurable through
templates), and organize your music collection to create a CD.

previews of many audio file types (Ogg, MP3, etc.),
video file types (AVI, MPEG, Real, etc.), and Internet
