MediaElch was good at productivity AND it was a pleasing visual experience.

I agree mediaelch is awesome. I tried a few of the others and the layout is not as pleasing.

Sad to see it go at least it still works. I wonder if anyone tried contacting the author and asking him if he would open source the project so someone can keep it updated.

the source is on github HERE

While I do have some programing skills the Qt GUI framework is something i neither understand nor have the mental capacity to learn. And believe me I've tried several times.

Things were changed on the music scraper side, so older versions wouldn't work either.   

There is a fix on the app forum webpage :
http://community.kvibes.de/topic/show/universal-music-scraper-broken-fix
last release from the author is july 2016 so unfortunatly i dont have much hope to see a fixed rlz soon...
i did modified the files and spent much hours trying to figure how to make an .exe file from it
i tried many times and i still have an error while compiling... 
so i added the modified files on my website if someone here happens to be able to compile it :
