Collectorz.com Music Collector - use this music database software to catalog your collection of CDs, LPs, Minidiscs, etc... Adding albums to the database is quick and easy, no typing needed. Just insert a CD in your CD-ROM drive, scan its barcode or type artist and title.

Music Collector will automatically download all information from various sources on the internet (like CDDB, Amazon and AMG), including the cover image. It can also read CDTEXT information, if available on the CDROM.

After adding your albums, the resulting database can be browsed, sorted and searched in various ways (e.g. find all tracks with the word "love" in the title, sort your CDs by Genre, etc...). Album and track lists can be printed and exported to HTML, CSV files or XML. Use the integrated Loan Manager to track which albums you loaned and to whom.
