Music Database Software

Music Collector is a program that helps you catalog your collection of CDs, LPs, Minidiscs, etc... This organizer software runs on Windows 95, 98, NT4, ME, XP and 2000. An Apple Mac OS X edition is in development (ETA Q4 2004).

Catalog your music collection

Adding items to the music database is quick and easy, adding CDs can even be done without any typing. Just insert a CD in your CD-ROM drive or scan its barcode with your barcode scanner. Adding LPs is easy too, only type the artist and title.
Music Collector will automatically download all data (artist, title, track titles, genre, label, etc... including the cover images). The information is retrieved from various music database sites on the internet (like the CDDB CD database, the Amazon music catalog and the AMG music database). It can also read CDTEXT information from the CD itself, if available.

View and search the music database

Once you have added a number of CDs to the inventory, you can view it on the main screen. It is possible to show a simple list of all albums or of all tracks, but you can also organize your collection by artist or by genre, using the automatic folder feature.
All lists can be sorted instantly, just by clicking the column headers or by using the Sort Order screen. You can sort on any field, e.g. alphabetically on artist, title or label, or sorted on release date or purchase date.
Use the Quick Search feature to find all albums that contain the word you type, or use the Advanced Filter command to search in specific fields, even multiple fields at once.

Print lists

Lists of your albums and tracks can be printed in any way you want. The Print feature lets you choose which albums or tracks to print, which fields to show and in what order to list them. Printed lists are ideal for insurance purposes, or to take with you to the store. The Pro edition of Music Collector also includes a number of templates for other nicely formatted print-outs. The flexible XML/XSL-based template system lets you create your own layouts too (requires XSL programming skills). Visit our Templates page to download templates created by other Music Collector users.

Export your music catalog (Pro edition only)

Using the Export to HTML feature you can generate HTML pages of your CD inventory, for use on your homepage or website. You can create one index page listing all albums (with one row per album), optionally linked to detail pages with one page per CD.
If you want to be able to use your music data in other programs, use the Export to XML or Export to Text functions. A special export feature is included to export your database for use in the ListPro software on your PDA (PocketPC or Palm).

Integrated Loan Manager (Pro edition only)

The built-in Loan Management system allows you to keep track of CDs you loan to friends, family, etc... Just log which CD you loaned and to whom and you will always know where your missing CDs are.
