Page rewritten[edit]

The page structure was changed, following some suggestion of Mr. TN X Man. Detailed description was replaced by just a list of features. References (to reviews) were added to show notability of the software. I believe now it doesn't look as advertising. Having a look at Comparison_of_audio_player_software one can count 39 media players, all of them have wiki articles. However, it is hardly to say that all of them are well known and notable. So, I don't think MusicBee is less notable then most of them. On the contrary, according to thispool it is rated at 4-5 place, in pair with MediaMonkey (Hydrogenaudio is a community strongly oriented to the HW and SW quality). In fact, this is the only such application that support audio chapters (currently only with Musepack files), except maybe Media Player Classic (with DS mpc filter), but the second one is not exactly an audio player. MusicBee is also the only one that supports LossyWAV preprocessing and coding with lossless codecs at one pass (so far). So, I've decided to remove the Non-notable software template, because I believe it is no more feasible (after rewriting the page). If there are any notes and suggestion from administrators, I'll do my best to change/improve the page, of course. Antonski (talk) 11:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't CD ripping be moved to the section Features added using optional components? In many if not most instances, MusicBee won't rip until you've manually and separately install an encoder: one for each file format you want to be supported.drone5 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:15, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
