I looked at MP3Rat too.
This is nothing more than Windows Explorer in Color.......and OLD !!!!

In M.M. you can easily see the name of the artists nicely under each
other with their albums.
Or v.v. : You can se all the different albums.
Or you can see all your titles nicely catagorized alphanumeric
Or you can choose the diferent catagories (Rock, Classic R&B etc)
Or.......... you name it.

Give it a try !
And most important : take your time to LEARN the program for its hidden
features.
When you are used to it you don't want anything else (at the moment)
