CATraxx description
An utility that helps you keep track of your music collection

CATraxx is a useful software created in order to help you manage and catalog your music collection. CATraxx will let you catalog all media types, including CDs, LPs, cassettes, mini discs, and MP3s.

CATraxx supports CDDB - the worlds largest music database. Simply insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive, and CATraxx will download the CD data from the Internet. Designed for the Windows environment, CATraxx is comprehensive, intuitive, and easy to use.

CATraxx has a comprehensive set of data fields for both albums and tracks, enabling you to catalog a wide range of information: artist, album title, media format, release year, label, catalog number, purchase price, current value, music category, playing time, song titles, songwriters, producers, recording studios, musicians and instruments.

You can store an image of the album cover, attach a MP3 file to each track, and add your own personal comments for both albums and tracks.

You can effectively find the information you are looking for by using the search and filter features. CATraxx allows you search your database with any combination of data fields and operators.

CATraxx includes a report designer that lets you create professional looking reports with exactly the layout you want. Use one of the more than 100 pre-defined reports, or create your own reports from scratch. CATraxx lets you preview reports on screen before printing, or save reports in virtually any file format.

You can quickly generate documents to be published on the Internet. The loan module lets you keep track of albums on loan. Check the program periodically to see what is still out on loan. You will always know who has what and since when.

The statistics module allows you to analyze your collection in a variety of ways. CATraxx lets you track your initial investment and the total value of your collection.

Use the backup function to make backup copies of your valuable data.

Here are some key features of "CATraxx":

· Store information about an unlimited number of albums, as well as the individual tracks on each album.
· Adapt the program to your own needs: Change the data field names to suit your personal preferences. Hide data fields you don't need. Specify your own media formats and categories. Split your collection into different databases and transfer information between them.
· Use the Form Designer to redesign the field layout in all data entry windows.
