Absolutely brilliant program. I'm not a big fan of skins but at least they've done it so it doesn't impact the responsiveness of the program (unlike, for example, FarceStone Image Viewer). Program isn't -instantly- understandable, at least it wasn't for me, but it's only a ten minute learning curve. Whatever. Five stars and kudos for being free.

I find it quite odd this program makes a constant HTTP connection to fe20-1.hc.ru. Likely for checking for new version - but after it checks, the connection should be closed... not remain until you are forced to kill it with NirSoft's CurrPorts.

Without having someone else tag your stuff the way you want, it doesn't get any easier. As well, there's a zip version and neither has paypal options like mp3tag's only installer which btw is an awful gui but does have some nice features alas. Bugs may come & go but this prog is indispensible.
Reviewing 5.1.550 (Aug 17, 2009)
+/- Lack of menu's is odd at first, but definitely a cool "feel" to the program.
+ It Actually does what it claims.
+ It Supports Win2K, unlike other unmentionables that purposely broke Win2K support.
+ Fairly intuitive interface.
+/- Uses its own theme Consistently, so perfectly legible. (Ignores System Colours)
+/- Lack of ToolTips, but displays info in the StatusBar.
Missing: Ability to sort File Lists by multiple fields,
ie, Click on Album, and it is secondarily sorted (automatically) by Track#.
ie, Click on Artist, now it is secondarily sorted (automatically) by Title.
I'd much rather be able to s*** click on successive fields, to choose the sorting method, and be able to save the sort method as a "Sort Preference", which would enable you to set up a handful of different sorting methods, and quickly change between them.
No option to enable menu's, nor any keyboard shortcuts therein, is a negative in my books. Thus the way the File List is displayed, the only field that can be renamed from there is the Filename, and only with F2. Double-clicking when the mouse is on a given field causes the song to play, instead of editing the item.
Though I think if it at least had multifield sort, the lack of Menu's & keyboard shortcuts could be overlooked, and would easily bump this up to 4.5 - 5.
