What Is Mr. Voice?
Mr. Voice's tagline is "Improv Audio Software." That's because it was written with a very specific purpose in mind. That purpose was to run the audio for a ComedySportz-style shortform improvisation show. I needed access to a large quantity of sound clips, organized and easily searchable, and able to get called up and playing in a matter of seconds. So I wrote Mr. Voice.
What is Mr. Voice? A way to have a ton of audio at your disposal, and to be able to call up just the clip you need, just when you need it. If you're running any sort of production that needs audio, such as improv shows, theatre, church events, that sort of thing, Mr. Voice can help. It handles a wide variety of audio formats (MP3, OGG, WAV, AAC, WMA), can do queueing and playlisting, and has a powerful SQL database backend (without needing the overhead of a big database engine like MySQL).
Plus, it's 100% free and open-source.
What isn't Mr. Voice? A general-purpose MP3 player. In fact, it doesn't play audio at all by itself - it farms that off to an audio player like XMMS or WinAmp. It's also probably not a wonderful iTunes replacement. Sure, you can categorize and search audio files, but it's not designed to become a jukebox.
