Ashampoo Music Studio 2018 is a tried and versatile application to edit and burn audio files. Audio disc ripping happens quickly and missing track information is filled in automatically based on an extensive online database. Files can be burned or converted into different audio formats. The integrated audio editor enables users to modify or remove individual passages and allows them to split up tracks into individual parts. Organizing music collections is another strength of the program. Metadata can be modified, volumes altered and files renamed based on customizable naming schemes. Songs can be easily mixed with fading and audio tracks extracted from existing videos, e.g. to create ring tones. The built-in cover editor makes it easy to design covers and inlays using multiple integrated templates from simple designs to mosaic layouts. The main menu and program structure have been completely redesigned for quicker results. Individual segments can now be repositioned via dragging in the editor and will snap in place for easy rearrangement. Support for APE has also been added.

- Burn audio CDs
- Rip audio CDs
- Convert audio files into various formats
- Edit and auto-complete metadata

Malik, glad to see an updated review. But one thing that jumped out at me is that you don’t mention the ability to edit songs—in other words, cut out parts, etc. You could do that with the old versions, though I found it unwieldy compared to the Asus app I ended up using more. Is that no longer possible, and if it is, how does it work in your opinion?
Do you mean .flac files? I’ve had a very hard time with recovery progs, and other utils, using .flac only as my audio format. Tanx for the heads up. Tho I have used the term frac to avoid expletives when software does not work!
Ashampoo is a reputable software manufacturer. Everything, especially their burning studio is especially impressive. I was expecting the same when I downloaded and installed Ashampoo Music Studio. Well, it was up to standards. Here is what I think of it.
Overview
Ashampoo music studio features an impressive user interphase that is synonymous with the modern metro UI. Everything is well laid out and spaced. Its DVD/CD rip tool, music organizer and tag creator comes in handy when organizing a vast music collection from different storage media.
Other than just taking care of your music, Ashampoo Music studio gives you what you need to create a professional music library consisting of what you actually want to hear. This rises from its power to edit music covers, modify files, create mix tapes and an intuitive playlist generator.
Pros
Powerful media management tools
Music studio takes up the role of media management like a boss. It’ll give you all the tools you need to take charge of your music library from one central place. My favorite were the mix tape and audio splitter. The audio splitter will come in quite handy when editing off long intros in music you ripped off Audio CDs or something you converted from video
Rip and burn from one software
If all you deal in is audio, you will find Music Studio’s rip and burn tabs quite useful. Of cause you can organize your music, modify it and edit the cover before burning it. This is perfect for creating those branded music discs for distribution.
Cons
Renaming could move files
Normally, renaming a file just changes the file name, not location. Ashampoo Music Studio’s organizer could change the location of your files with a simple rename command. I lost an entire album before realizing this.
Can’t record system audio
Ashampoo packed a neat audio recorder that will come in handy when doing karaoke at a party. This recorder will however not record your system audio. I find this a bit crippling – especially that I find the need to record system audio every now and then.
Limited video support
Ashampoo media studio is optimized for audio. It won’t take in high definition videos well. It hanged when I loaded HD video and occasionally clipped the quality.
Verdict
Ashampoo Music Studio is an excellent media manager for anyone in charge of a vast media library. It will help you create a perfectly organized music server – if you are patient enough to take it through the initial organization steps.

Cons-Can’t record system audio in Win 10.
Finally found an honest review that tells the truth. I even emailed their support group and got the run-around.
Win 7 worked great ! Not any longer. This all happened due to Win 10.
This was offered Sept 2017 with a version of 7.0.1.2 – what is the current version?
Thanks,
Dan
