Really cool tool to manage all my music in an amazing way. Once you get use to it you will never leave it. I definitely consider Virtuosa as must-have tool. by Max on Jun 19, 2002
Really cool soft indeed! I've just checked it out and realized what I missed so far... It has all the functions you need to create, organize and enjoy all movie and music files on your computer. Creating playlists of the audio and video files is really easy too. Wow! I almost fell off my chair. My favourite visualization plugin are Explosions and Aorta. In this translucid transparent interface, it really blew my mind!!!! Strong points: * interface is really cool, and full-screen is better. I killed my eyes on the other products * fully-customizable with skins and visualizations plug-ins * all-in-one is easier: cd ripping, playlists, cd-burning * database is flexible and playlists are easy to make * all drag and drop is user friendly * the team has a cool story that shows commitment to the product * conversions across all formats * CD collection management * audio AND video !!! Did you know that these guys brought it back on the market after the company decided to discontinue the product? I mean, ittakes b...s to do that. Apparently the community of users was still alive and looking forward to the rebirth of the software. Virtuosa is fun and generates positive vibes, indeed. A friend of mine is using it as a Dj for his wedding. Finally an interface that is different than the usual Microsoft file menu. And it is very intuitive. The learning curve is less than 2 minutes, even for a tech avert like me... Ready to play right out of the box. Lots of people are also writing positive feedback on it on download.com What I found cool too is that the help system is very much in depth. The help file is very well structured (basic-medium-advanced). Then there are frequently asked questions and forums online. There is even a guided tour! You can even share playlists in the forum. One bad thing about Virtuosa is that it does not support all CD burners (because you can do CD ripping, playlists, and CD burning). But, on the other hand, the team integrated my drive in 1 week and is publishing updates regularly on the site. So, that is ok. Weak points: * price, but we'll see about Christmas promos * cd r drivers, but they integrate fast and often Also, the product is expensive 39.99. Though I heard that they are about to do a big promotion. Well, we'll see...
