Noob Music lets you organize and play your Music Library and playlists. Noob Music uses NumRand a number generator based on chaotic motion for randomisation quality.
When closing the application, the application saves the library to database so please do not force quit the application even though it takes a while to close. Also when opening the application it takes a little while to load the library.
You can assign color-tags to each song in your library and shuffle grouped by tags so that you get a consistent "rainbow" spectrum of songs when you shuffle. For avid music listeners this feature is really useful, because organizing playlists can be time consuming. With the tag shuffle you get a playlist you can listen to without having to rearrange it after shuffling.
Noob Music also lets you shuffle without tag-shuffling if you have not assigned tags to your songs or you just want a totally random playlist. Noob Music uses NumRand a random number generator based on chaotic motion for the best random result. Because the randomisation method is complex it takes some time to shuffle large playlists.
Noob Music requires you to have all your music inside the Music folder of your home folder, in a sub folder or the root of the directory. You must choose the folder in the Settings section. And then index the folder. Music information is read from song files when you play each song and saved to the your library. Songs that don't contain information can be edited manually. Noob Music lets you create playlists and drag and drop songs to your playlist you can also drag and drop a playlist onto another playlist.
Noob Music supports mp3, m4a, wav, flac and aif.
If you have been using the UXP based application and you have started using the app store version you can copy the database file to the new Noob Music by first launching the latest version of Noob Music, then go to ~/Library/Application Support/NoobMusic/ open your profile and find noob_music.sqlite copy the file to your desktop or some convienient location and rename the file to NoobMusic.db (Make sure the Noob Music application is closed for the final step or else the db will be overwritten) then copy the file from your desktop to ~/Library/Containers/noob.software.noobmusic-macOS/Data/.local/share overwrite the db that is there (you can drag it to your desktop to make sure you don't overwrite data you want to keep.)

The Windows version of Noob Media Center has been released but is not ready for the microsoft store, but is available as a download: http://noob.software/downloads/mediacenter.zip. This is an experimental build, which should not be considered a final release.
Noob Media Center is designed to work like the perfect TV station, with endless continuously generated content for playback from your own TV show and Movie libraries. With multiple tabs to have multiple 'stations' playing at the same time.
Noob Media Center is now fully integrated with features from Noob TV and Noob Cinema and is now considered the premier entertainment app by Noob Software and is suggested instead of Noob TV, Cinema and Player.
Noob Media Center has many benefits over Noob TV and Noob Player for example never needing to generate playlist files, instead Media Center continuously plays back the playlist template. Another benefit is the addition of multiple library locations to Noob Cinema.
Play movies from your Noob Cinema library without having to generate playlists.
Play schedules and smart templates continuously from your Noob TV library.
Known issues: Noob Media Center uses the same database file as NoobTV and NoobCinema and Noob Player after using Noob Media Center these database files may become unusable to these applications, make sure you backup your database files if you intend to keep using these applications. The only way to restore functionality if these database files are corrupted with regard to these apps is to erase or move the database files from ~/Library/Group Containers/group.noob.player/
