Description

gmmusic is a free and powerful music collection management system, which runs on top of PostgreSQL on a GNOME desktop.
You can handle your complete music collection, consisting of songs, which are stored on records, CDs, video and audio tapes.
All pieces of data are easily to maintain, you can for example look up songs, enter whole CDs or ROMs or print the whole inventory and print nice CD trays. There's also full support for freedb included.
gmmusic is the successor of mmusic, which is now obsoleted. All data of mmusic can be used in gmmusic, too.
