Operating system
A Windows desktop environment for local application work.
System requirements
A Windows workstation built around your local library.
MMW is designed for local music folders and Windows desktop workflows, with optional EAC, FLAC, media-server, device, and authoring tools for specific tasks.
Baseline
What the workstation assumes.
Music access
Local or locally mounted access to the library folders being inspected.
External tools
Exact Audio Copy and FLAC are optional, but they make the import and encoding workflows more useful.
Media servers
Plex review requires a user-authorized Plex environment; other servers remain planned connector directions.
Practical setup
The better the local evidence, the more useful the review.
MMW is designed for local, inspectable workflows. It works best when the user can reach the files being reviewed, can open the external tools involved, and understands which destination will use the result.
Storage
Use a stable local or mounted library location while reviewing paths, filenames, and delivery plans.
Permissions
The application needs normal user access to the folders, settings, and reports involved in the chosen workflow.
External state
EAC, FLAC, Plex, and planned devices each have their own state; review that state before blaming the library.
Workflow fit
Optional tools make specific areas stronger.
A user can read the product pages without owning every external tool. The practical value changes with the workflow being reviewed: EAC and FLAC matter for import work, Plex matters for server playlist review, and device details matter for delivery planning.
EAC and FLAC
Useful when the user wants baseline comparison, encoder-command review, filename output interpretation, and rip-path confidence.
Plex
Useful when the user wants server discovery and playlist inspection before considering any reviewed update path.
Devices
Useful when the user wants duration, capacity, filename, and format expectations to match a real destination.
