How Does The Soundtrack Geek Work?
As I have a lot of soundtracks and movie scores, I need some way of having them all in order. The process is like this:
- Buy soundtrack (either digitally or the old fashioned CD if available)
- If CD, rip it into MP3 and put it on a hard drive
- Tag MP3 files properly, including artist, title, track number, release year, album name, genre
- Import them into Helium Music Manager 2007
- Have fun!
I love having everything put into a searchable database with all sorts of info, stats, rating and album covers and this is where the excellent Helium Music Manager comes in. I bought this little application back when it was called Helium Music Manager 2005 and I have not regret that decision. Here’s a few screenshots (click on them to get the big size):
Sorted by year
The artist browser
The album browser
The music information browser
The search feature (Artist search: Newman)
The tag editor
So this is the tool I use to keep it all in order. I am not in any way or form affiliated with the makers of Helium Music Manager, it’s just that I wanted to show you how I work, and this is the master tool behind it all. If you want it, you can try it here.
Other extremely important ingredients:
- Acer Aspire 1524WLMi laptop
- Creative X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity soundcard
- Philips SHP2500 headphones
- Western Digital My Book external hard drive
- Lots of caffeine
Now you can be just like me!
