Portable Music Information Browser

The Portable Music Information Browser is a small application which offers you almost all browsing capabilities from the Music Information Browser in Helium Music Manager. The Portable Music Information Browser is small and requires no installation. It does not require Helium Music Manager to be installed on the target machine and therefore it is useful for portable systems. For example, simply put the Portable Music Information browser on a USB-memory together with your database, insert the USB-memory into another machine (optionally without Helium Music Manager installed), start the Portable Music Information Browser and explore your collection just as on your own machine in Helium Music Manager. Note: The Portable Music Information Browser works only with Microsoft Access databases at the moment. Download & Installation Simply download the Portable Music Information Browser by clicking the Download button below. You don't need to install this application, just make sure that you unpack so that the internal folder-structure is recreated. MSXML v3.0 and the most recent versions of MDAC and JET are required at the target machine.

dBPowerAMP Conversion Scripts

This set of three scripts enables you to invoke dBpowerAMP from Helium Music Manager's External Applications button to convert music files to: MP3 Lame OggVorbis CLI FLAC Next the 'health warning': Due to the current level of scripting support for DMC, the codecs require that the windows registry is altered in order to tell DMC how the conversion should be performed - this is as recommended in the DMC forums. This script has only been tested on Windows XP Professional SP2. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK as no guarantees are given that there will not be problems caused, unlikely though this may be! To understand how to setup the script just double click the downloaded script and a help panel will be displayed showing you how to set it up. Note: These are 3rd party scripts and we cannot guarantee their functionality. They should be considered to be 'beta' status. The use of the scripts assumes that you understand how to use dBpowerAMP. Installation Simply download and unzip to a directory of your choice.
