Here are some  Music Organizer Review. There are also popular mp3 music downloads sites to enrich your music library.

1.) TagScanner Renames and Tags Your Digital Music

2.) Plorf.com - Free MP3 Search And Download

A brand new search engine dedicated to finding free music downloads and lyrics. With Plorf.com, you’ll be able to stream and download free mp3 audio files. As usual, just type in the name of the band, song, or album your looking for into the search box. After a couple seconds you’ll see a list of songs that match your query. All audio on the site is completely legal and not copyrighted, so you don’t have to worry about the good folks from the RIAA suing you into homelessness.

3. ) VidtoMP3 Converts Online Video Clips to MP3

Have you ever listened to a great music video on Youtube which you would love to add to your MP3 collection? Well now you can with a new service called VidtoMP3. This site is a brand new site. VidToMP3 is an online video to MP3 audio converter that allows users to convert Myspace and Youtube videos to MP3 files. Very useful for turning any music video on Myspace or YouTube into MP3 tracks for your iPod. It’s free with no strings attached. Not so long ago we mentioned FLVto an online Flash to MP3 converter, VidToMP3 seems to deliver a similar functionality but also supports a lot more video websites.

 4.) iLike API

The iLike API and developer platform enables developers to quickly integrate songs and music playlists into your web sites and Facebook applications. Currently, TechCrunch reports that iLike is partnering with Google, TypePad, Flixster, Connected Weddings, and others, in the launch. The music itself is provided by Rhapsody. That means that you can listen to 25 songs for free before needing to sign up for a Rhapsody account (if you don’t, you’re restricted to 30-second samples). Imeem and MySpace Music, on the other hand, offer fewer restrictions on free full-length playback.

The key feature of the API is its simplicity. Songs and fully functional playlists can be inserted into web pages using basic HTML and Javascript. At the moment there are not a lot of details on the new developer program available. It’s not perfect, mostly because the music is restricted to what’s available in iLike’s library. But music fans, not to mention iLike’s partners, have reason to be psyched: this is a legitimately cool feature

5.) Mp3Shake.com - MP3 Download Site 

The Internet is rife with MP3 download sites that serve these purposes. The MP3 Shake website is one such online resource, and it is as good and reliable as any other. Its contents can be accessed in several ways. For instance, an alphabetical list is provided along with a search tool that takes specific keywords into consideration and provides a list of matching results.

Moreover, the best selling albums are showcased on the main page along with the latest additions to the online database. Lastly, the MP3 Shake website features charts appertaining to various territories such as the United States, the United Kingdom and France, as well as an overall “Top 100” chart that highlights the hottest and most successful artists at a given time.

6. Favtape Updates for Easier Playlist Ordering, Sharing

Favtape is a service that has been talked about everywhere lately.Favtape combines some of the best features of Seedpod and Pandora and Last.fm, with a whole lot of muxtape thrown in for good measure.

Assuming you already have a Last.fm or Pandora account (and really, who doesn’t?), all you need to do is enter your user name or profile page URL for that service into Favtape, and it will retrieve 10 songs that you have bookmarked or favorited there into a mixtape that approximates the interface we saw earlier on Muxtape. Songs are delivered from SeeqPod’s directory of online MP3s using SeeqPod’s readily-available API, as pointed out by monkey_bites.

7.) 8tracks Creates Virtual Mix Tapes

One of the most promising ways to upload a mix of MP3s now that Muxtape is offline is 8tracks, which lets users program and share mixes of eight songs or more. 8tracks offers all of the basic functionality of previously covered Muxtape, with the additional ability to add artwork and information about the mix itself. Users can browse others’ mixes, comment, and view mixes sorted by popularity and freshness.

Programming a mix on 8tracks is super easy — a mere matter of uploading each of the MP3s from your computer. The site harvests song titles and artist names from the MP3s’ tags, so there’s no need to fill in song information — just upload and publish.

8.) Host Your Own Music Playlist with Opentape

The RIAA’s unending game of cat-and-mouse with unlicensed music distribution sites has taken an abrupt turn with the introduction of Opentape, a purportedly unrelated open-source clone of Muxtape that the RIAA got shut down.  With this open source downloadable package, you’ll be able to create and host your own mixtapes and host them. Songs are uploaded through the web or an FTP server, and you can embed the player on your website or blog. This allows you to easily share your favorite songs with your friends, family, and the rest of the world.

Opentape has debuted rather quickly with a set of features that are strikingly similar to Muxtape’s. Opentape may pose a much greater problem for the RIAA, however, as it’s offered as a downloadable software package that can run on most modern web hosts, requiring only Apache 1.x and PHP5. To make matters worse from the RIAA’s perspective, Opentape offers direct links to the MP3s that a user choses to upload, instead of links to legitimate music outlets.
