Film music
Built for Tamil film music
Film albums are messy: many singers, a music director hidden in the tags, songs scattered across discs. Paatu Cassette understands them.
Music directors
Browse every composer. The album artist fills in when the composer tag is missing.
One album, many singers
A soundtrack with ten singers stays one album instead of splitting into ten.
Every singer counted
“Kavitha Raman, Arun Prakash” counts for both singers, so each artist page is complete.
Disc folders roll up
CD1 and Disc 2 folders join their album.
Tag cleanup
Remove download-site names, web addresses and “128kbps” labels in one go.
Tamil-friendly
Tamil titles and names display beautifully, everywhere in the app.
Why other players get film music wrong
Most players group albums by album artist and treat the first name in the artist tag as the artist. With film soundtracks that splits one movie into many albums, hides duet singers, and leaves the composer, the person you actually search for, nowhere to be found.
Paatu Cassette keeps a soundtrack together, splits artist tags on commas, semicolons, slashes, “&” and “feat.”, and gives music directors their own section, with the album artist used as a fallback because that’s how most Tamil soundtracks credit the composer.
Made for every playlist too
Nothing here gets in the way of other music. Western albums, devotional collections and Carnatic concerts all work just as well; the fallback can be switched off in Settings if your album artists are bands.

FAQ
Film music & music directors: questions
Where does the music director come from?
From the composer tag in your files. When a song has none, the album artist is used, which is how most Tamil soundtracks credit the music director. You can switch this off in Settings.
