BEATLE (formally SAPS) is a new media player from the creator of AudioShaker (formally an Understealth product).

Features such as Mass Tag Editing, Mass File Renaming, Media Library, CD Player, Multiple Playlists, Move Music To Folders, Send To Devices and lots more are included as standard and extra features are available to allow you to sort your media in any fashion you wish.
