K-Lite is a good codec pack, though I've mainly used it for the video codecs.
The public codec packs usually use free (open source) versions of the codecs, or just ignore patents on the algorithms (the codecs are written by programmers in countries where the patents don't apply). So they leave out the codec, and the end user can pay for the codec if they really need it. If Microsoft wants to include the codec in Windows, they would have to pay a licensing fee for every copy of Windows sold. WMP is probably incomplete because a lot of codec algorithms are covered by patents, or copyrights for the codec itself. I always used Exact Audio Copy to rip the CDs, and it would automatically tag the resulting files using data from one of these databases. I haven't done this in several years, but there were several public databases of metadata for songs. The program you use for metadata like tag scanner isn't as important as the database it uses. But you can always convert them to MP3 or something else if you need a smaller version for a portable device. The only disadvantage is that FLAC files are a lot bigger (about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the raw CD files). So it's a pristine copy of the original CD file. Audio CDs store uncompressed raw audio (the record labels didn't want to compress it because people would then start to question why there's only 40 minutes of music on a CD which can hold 6 hours). If most of your music is from audio CDs and you have plenty of storage, you should probably be storing them as FLACs. On the other hand, I would like to have kind of "master codec" which work for all other multimedia apps and software without any confliction.
What would be your suggestion if I wish to use (WMP) as my default player and make it work correctly! and make it able to read all video and audio codecs. I believe the main cause of that is incomplete codec's which guides us to install additional codec packs! I mean many other simple and smaller players are much more practical and useful like, (KMP - VLC ) and. Why windows main multimedia player (WMP) is incomplete? (I know right now you are thinking "what a Geek!")īut I love to have the best-organized music files and folders.Ĭan you guide me and show me the best software for such a thing? for every album and folder one by one!.because most of the songs data's have been lost during conversion.Įven with software like (Tag scanner) which is so helpful but still, it's a huge ton of work to do like, rewriting some of songs names, wiping additional and unuseful file data's, gathering lyrics of songs (every album lyrics and cover in its own folder and. I'm mostly spending time on organizing and categorizing Music folders, names, release years, Genres &. 1- I Have Huge Music Archive which I have gathered eventually in years and most of them are converted from my older Audio Cd's.
