Had you ever inserted multiple compact disks into your PC in an attempt to find just one MP3 song? It’s definitely a routine, time-consuming work that you could have easily avoided if you’d catalog your files first. But cataloging is difficult and takes more time than just occasionally looking for a file when you need it, right?
Wrong! Cataloging CD and DVD media has never been easier. With powerful computers and sophisticated software you can off-load entire cataloging job to your PC; all you need to do is just inserting the disks one by one. No need to make notes or write down things on paper. Your PC will make the process as easy as one-two-three. Once you try the convenience of your entire CD/DVD collection indexed, there’s really no way back!
WinCatalog by WinCatalog.com is one of the more advanced cataloging tools on the market. It does what its name suggests by automatically indexing files and data such as MP3 tags on your entire CD and DVD collection, but it goes way beyond that. If you are looking for a song, searching by the file name is not always convenient. How about looking for the name of the song, or searching your entire disk collection for all songs performed by a specific artist? That does not take more than a few mouse clicks with WinCatalog!
If you have an abundance of disks, they might get difficult to get around. Mixing data backups with MP3 songs is no fun. WinCatalog lets you organize your collection hierarchically with virtual ‘blue’ folders, allowing you to create a meaningful structure. For example, you can create different blue folders for DVD movies, audio CDs, digital pictures and data backups.
But what if you are trying to find a file on a CD or DVD that you loaned to a friend and then forgot about it? No problem, as WinCatalog not only finds the file and tells you what CD it was, but can even tell you who and when borrowed that particular disk! Its built-in contact manager lets you track your disks easily. With WinCatalog you’ll never lose an important disk again!
Once you start organizing things, the convenience of easy index and fast search really strikes at you. So why limiting yourself with just CDs and DVDs? WinCatalog allows you to catalog and track books, VHS tapes, and all other objects such as your stamp collection just as easily as it does with computer disks. WinCatalog won’t let you forget about the book that you loaned!
WinCatalog is by all means affordable, but if you just need a simple and free tool to catalog and search your digital media, and do not need reporting and the ability to index things like books and VHS tapes, the free Light version might be just right for you. _WinCatalog _Light is absolutely free to use, but does not include the useful loaner tracking feature of the Proedition.
Download your free trial version of WinCatalog from /download.html, or get the absolutely free Light edition at /free.html
Cataloging and searching your entire CD or DVD collection should be neither difficult nor time consuming. Let your computer and dedicated software do the indexing job automatically with WinCatalog!
