Hello TTG! This is a (soon to be) open-source music manager and sorter! There is quite a bit of features in this program and is invaluable for anyone with a rather large music selection or music enthusiast.
-V3 Status and Features-
Now with V3 taking so long to develop due to complications, I'm going to announce a few things I have been looking into.
-GUI has been downgraded from the V3 early photo.
-Profiles for multiple users
-Master password to ensure no one tampers with other data.
-Tutorial, including a Youtube video I will record.
-Combining multiple profiles
-Possibly a tag editor.
-Folder sorter based on filter tags you provide.
Features
-Loads mp3, wav, m4a, aac and flac file formats. May not be readable by Windows Media Player. But this is 100% supported and the end file will work the same regardless.
-Pressing play will automatically scan your default Music folder and play the first file.
-Supports Default directories. (Music is currently the only directory)
-Ability to sort any and all loaded files into separated, liked, neutral and hated lists.
-Ability to save said lists and permanently remove hated files from your hard drive.
-Can create playlists from sorted songs. Even possible to load the hated list currently.
-Easy playlist creator GUI. One side is the playlist songs and other is the songs you don't want.
-Save playlist lists and open them for later changing and exporting. This is especially useful for updates and when you need to re-download this.
-Export list into playlist (M3U) for PC. This features will be revamped relatively soon.
-Name the above playlist to whatever you want.
-Filter the loaded songs by name and sort the filtered songs.
-Move songs between lists
-Mobile export supported
-Custom directory feature now added
Upcoming Features and Fixes
-Totally re-written and the music formats to be fully accepted (extensive, requires re-evaluating all loading procedures.)
-This will be V3. It'll hopefully remove all bugs, fix loading times and make everything a lot more fluid.

As always, report any bugs. I work 5 days a week and the days I have off are spent sleeping. I work on this for maybe an hour or so a day. This will help me out so I can remove anything before the problem could potentially get bigger. Example, I spent an hour rewriting the Save code because of one small mistake that I could have fixed prior. Also, let me know of any suggestions.

Remember, please give credit where it's due. I don't care if it's in a hidden place and if it's just one small form. If I did the coding or the basis, just let people know the who was the person behind it :3

Qihoo virus scan warning
Now, if you look at v2 and the source code at least, it shows a false positive through Qihoo 360. I'm warning everyone, because for some odd reason this always seems to happen on a late build of my programs.
One SURE FIRE way for anyone worried.
1) Download source code.
2) Delete the Bin -> Debug folder. No more executables.
3) Open project in VB 2010+ or another IDE.
4) Debug/Build
5) Run the bin version yourself.
Now, you know there isn't anything, because while you're there, check the source code for anything malicious. Just a bunch of mess lol.
The second method, less surefire but more trust based.
Read this article.

^Proves has a high level of false positives

..and Qihoo 360 Antivirus (hit hard in the usability section thanks to high levels of false positives) all scored 12.5.

This looks pretty decent, i suggest making the design scheme abit more eye catching, unless just you yourself is using it.
if your looking to make it a public release in the future, i suggest adding a design.
Nethertheless i like it.

I ended up moving this, unfortunately I wish I could make a topic span two forums. I'm not really sure which would get more attention/end up where it would be more useful.

Here's pictures from the last update (about 2 weeks, the final version is in final stages. V3 will just be rewriting everything for optimization)

It's how it's worded I guess haha.
Liked - Songs you Love
Neutral - Songs that are something you like occasionally.
Hated - Songs that it depends on your mood, something you may have downloaded by accident or didn't even know existed
I'll re-word it before I upload it
EDIT:
Spoke too fast. :/ I coded the key-words into quite a bit of areas. When I re-write it, this will be changed
