Which should you choose?
Choose Music Box Maniacs if you want to compose notes, work from MIDI, or prepare a paper strip for a compatible physical music box.

Before you start
Can I use Lullaby Converter to print a music-box strip?
No. Its export is for digital listening. For a physical music box, Music Box Maniacs offers printable strips and scale choices; you still need to check the requirements of your mechanism.
What if I already have a MIDI melody?
Music Box Maniacs supports MIDI import, so it is a natural starting point for that workflow. Lullaby Converter starts from an audio recording instead.
Can I try my song before paying?
Yes. Upload a recording or import a YouTube link to hear a free preview. The arrangement is an interpretation, so listen for the parts of the tune that matter to you. Purchase the full lullaby when you are happy with the result.
Use recordings you have the rights or permission to use. See our terms for details.
