MusicVault Go

MusicVault Go is heaven for those who have been collecting music files for years. The initial wizard scans your internal storage and any SD cards, recognizes MP3, AAC, FLAC, and even old WMAs, tags them with data obtained online, and if it detects missing cover art, automatically downloads it the next time you have Wi-Fi. Its gold standard, however, is the multiprotocol download center: Copy a link from Bandcamp, Jamendo, or Free Music Archive and the track appears in your library, neatly categorized, in seconds.
