Key Features

File Unpacking and Renaming

One of the most useful features of AudioZip is its ability to unpack any number of 7zip - supported files with just one click. It then renames the target folder correctly using the TAG information and eliminates all unnecessary subfolders, ensuring that all files are in one folder. The folder name can be adjusted as often as the user likes, and it can be reverted to the original name if the TAG info is missing or incomplete.

Integrated Player

The integrated player in AudioZip enables users to listen to their music instantly. This is a great convenience for those who want to quickly preview a track or an album.

File Management

AudioZip allows for easy deletion and insertion of files. Unnecessary files can be removed instantly, and new files such as album covers can be inserted with ease. TAG information can also be added, edited, or deleted (including images) with batch processing being configurable.

Special Functions

The JoinCDs function is a unique feature that allows users to join multiple CDs in a single folder by simply dragging with the mouse and adapting the TAG information. Well - tagged albums (folders) can be recompressed in zip and 7z formats with options like splitting and password protection.

Lyrics Support

AudioZip offers support for synchronized lyrics in ID3v2 and WMA. It has a configurable LyricsViewer and its own SyncMaster (editor), and also supports LRC files. Additionally, it provides auto - tagging via scripts for 8 websites (including Startpage.com cover search) and lyrics search via scripts for 4 websites.

Script Editor

The application comes with its own, intuitive ScriptEditor with layouts and an assistant. This allows users with the necessary knowledge to create their own scripts for various functions.

CD - Ripper and Audio Conversion

The CD - Ripper in AudioZip can convert to 8 different formats 'on - the - fly' and also supports multi - CD - ripping. The AudioConvert feature enables conversion to 8 different audio formats, providing flexibility for users who need to convert their music files.

Audio Cutting and Splitting

AudioCut allows users to cut or split audios with available silence detection, while CueSplitter can split audios using well - known CueSheets.

Image Handling

AudioZip allows users to view images, even in their original size for evaluation. Animated GIF files can be reproduced. It also offers image editing capabilities such as cropping, resizing, rotating, flipping, and converting, and supports the.webp format. Images can be edited as files and also directly in the TAG.

Other Features

The application can read and edit text files, create playlists automatically, create album info, rename music files using TAG information with another click (adjustable), fast - rename covers (e.g. front, back, inlet…), has a freely configurable menu for searching on the Internet, a QuickEditor with many useful functions (text editor), an own HTML - Viewer for TAG - Specs and manuals accessible with the F1 key, an own unlocker that detects locked files and offers solutions, and monitors free disk space wherever new files are created (configurable). It also offers the automated copying/moving of albums to their final destination in a configurable folder structure.
