    its a nice "family" multimédia browser HTPC style, on the down side it create load of files (thumbnails etc) that increase the size of your library by 10%, and it's a ressource Hog when it index for the first time hudge library
    Sony VAIO Media Gallery Walkthrough and Overview - YouTube

    It also has a "minority report / Kinect" style motion detector, where it used your webcam to figure hand gesture.

    If only the software was more tidy and configurable it could have been great.. That said I'm quite unfair, because I'm a die hard pc user... a Mac user wouldn't complain..

    Media Gallery is a media browser and music player.

    I'm using it for its unique playlist creator. It analysis your library and creates 12 different playlists for your moods.

    If you now a program does that please share because it really creates so many unneeded files like said.
