Streaming is convenient, but many people still keep a carefully collected library of music files. MusicBee is built for exactly that: it organises thousands of tracks, fixes messy tags and plays everything with high sound quality.

Features worth knowing

  • Library management: Find and sort music quickly, and use auto-tagging to clean up an untidy collection.
  • Sound quality: Output through WASAPI and ASIO for high-end sound cards, gapless playback, and a 10-band or 15-band equalizer with DSP effects.
  • Device sync: Sync music, playlists, podcasts and audiobooks with your devices, converting formats on the fly if a device does not support them.
  • Extras: Podcasts, web radio, SoundCloud integration, Last.fm, CD ripping and tagging tools.
  • Skins and add-ons: Change the look with included skins or download more, along with plugins, from the add-ons section.

Choosing an edition

  1. The Download button opens the official downloads page on getmusicbee.com.
  2. Installer edition: Installs MusicBee on your Windows system drive, the usual choice.
  3. Portable edition: Can be placed on another partition or a USB drive.
  4. Microsoft Store edition: For Windows 10 and later, with automatic updates.

All editions support Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11.

Getting started

On first launch, point MusicBee at the folder where your music lives and let it scan the files. Then open the tag editor to fix any albums with missing artwork or misspelled names, and pick a skin you like.

Pros

  • Powerful library and tag management
  • WASAPI and ASIO output with gapless playback
  • Installer, portable and Store editions

Cons

  • Windows only
  • The number of settings can feel overwhelming
