Mezzmo 3.4.4

Blu-ray discs, DVDs, and CDs are not always convenient to use for a number of reasons: if you have many of them, then you will probably not find enough room to store them all. Moreover, you can lose them, or simply find them scratched and unusable.

To avoid these issues, many users have decided to copy their digital content to hard drives.
However, this solution is not always handy, because you can only access stored files when the right hard drive is plugged into your computer. Furthermore, only one person has access to this data at a time, because you cannot connect a hard drive to multiple devices at once. Eventually, it often becomes a great mess because of uncategorized content lying all over.

Mezzmo is able to fix most of the problems that you can possibly encounter while managing a media library. Indeed, it acts as a media server that can automatically categorize your videos, music, and pictures, as well as streaming them to any device that supports the DLNA or UPnP protocols (most of recent smartphones and smart TVs are able to, as long as they are connected to your home network).

With its sleek and well-designed interface, Mezzmo permits you to easily configure which files should be added to your library, and specify those that you are willing to share. You'll be guided through the whole process with the help of comprehensive and user-friendly windows. Mezzmo is able to automatically get information about your music and videos, and subsequently update their metadata, so you don't need to do it manually. Still, if a piece of information is damaged or missing, you can nevertheless modify it.

Your library can contain many file formats that are unsupported by your devices. That's not a problem for Mezzmo, since it can transcode your files on-the-fly to a format that the target device supports. If your computer is not powerful enough to manage the on-the-fly transcoding, then you can pre-transcode your files so that Mezzmo streams these pre-transcoded files to your devices without overloading the processor of your computer.

Another interesting feature of Mezzmo is that it is capable of ripping your music from CDs that you insert in your computer drive, and automatically add the extracted tracks to your library. Yet it can't extract neither Blu-ray discs nor DVDs that contain videos, which is unfortunate, as you'll need another program to extract this kind of content.

In conclusion, I would highly recommend you to try Mezzmo, because it works as it should, it is full-featured, and it has a reasonable price.
