MusiCHI Suite, the 4-in-1 application (Library Manager, Tagger, Ripper & Player) dedicated to demanding music genres, has launched a new release, including a very complete database with composers and performers in classical and jazz music, which have very specific classification needs. The Suite’s reference database, MusiCHI Clean, includes now 7,100 composers in classical music with their period/style, a complete catalog of the 125 most popular composers (26,000 compositions), 10,000 performers in classical also with their instruments/roles and 165,000 performers in jazz with the instruments they play, all fully Unicode compliant. According to the press release, this unique feature enables the user to speed-up any research within his library or tagging needs when creating one, making the cataloging process much easier.
MusiCHI Suite is an integrated “High Fidelity” music organizer to manage and listen to digital music, providing ultimate customization, library of an unlimited size, incomparable tagging capabilities, and bit perfect output. It includes four applications (Player, Ripper, Tagger, Library Manager), each optimized for its task, where newly introduced fields (such as Instruments, Composition, Period, Performers, Style and some user defined customs fields) relevant to music classification can be utilized. Unlike other programs, in MusiCHI Suite the library operates just as a keeper (temporarily or not) of the audio file tags (aka metadata) and a speedy search tool, as all information resides inside the audio files. Furthermore, it uses a database engine that allows virtually unlimited size of libraries.
MusiCHI Suite is ASIO and WASAPI compatible, allowing to by-pass the video sound mixer of Windows and achieving bit perfect digital output, having passed bit transparency tests with a Weiss DAC202. Favoring the best audio sound, open standards and flexible capabilities in every aspect of creating digital music libraries, it can play FLAC files up to 24 bits/385.2 kHz), with additional support for MP3, MP4, APE, WMA & M4A (lossy & lossless), WAV (“taggable”) and AIFF. Furthermore, MusiCHI Suite provides an MP3 converter, to sync easily with a portable device.
MusiCHI Suite is a multi-library system, allowing for one more level of grouping, for example Classical, Jazz, World Music, etc. According to the library, the user interface, audio tracks data and tagging pick-lists can change, since different styles of music have different logic and personalities: with classical music Composer/Composition is more valuable information than Artist/Album, for example. The software is available in English and French. MusiCHI Suite is designed to run on Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7 or 8), but it has also been successfully used on Macintosh, running either “Fusion” or “Parallel” virtual machines applications.
MusiCHI Suite is available in 2 versions: MusiCHI Studio (price €39), which includes the four applications (Player, Ripper, Tagger, Library Manager) and MusiCHI Ultimo (price €49), which apart from the four applications, includes also the Portable Edition, a unique application that allows the user to transport and play all his digital music library on any other PC without any further configuration than plug a USB drive. MusiCHI Tagger is also available separately as a stand-alone product (price €19), for those that want to use its powerful tagging capabilities.
MusiCHI Suite can be downloaded through the company's website.
