This page contains numerous information about the program CD-Catalog for Windows.
Please notice, that not all functions can be described entirely and therefore not all dialogs and functions, which are integrated into the program, will be mentioned.
... everyone knows this saying - and hates it at the same time because order is usually connected with work ...
CD-Catalog for Windows creates regarding to this an acceptable compromise. It administers your whole CD collection in a clear structure through the use of different categories. So you can for example arrange all CDs you got during a year as supplement of magazine XY in Category XY-CDs 2000. Also the cataloging of a CD takes only a few seconds, so that you will need just a few minutes for the cataloging of your whole CD collection.
After you have once completed this work, you will never have to do it again. From now on, you have full access on any CD, without having to insert it into the CD rom drive before. You can also search the CDs for certain, freely definable keywords and so you can quickly search your whole collection and find what you are looking for without wasting much time.
During the work with CD-Catalog for Windows you will notice that it is not difficult, to bring order and clarity into your CD collection.
The program surface of CD-Catalog for Windows was designed in a clear and self explaining way.
So only the most used functions are integrated into a toolbar in the upper section of the window. Additionally, each button carries a inscription.
An already cataloged CD can also be found easily: Just choose a category from the left selection area and then select the desired CD from the list in the middle. Its file and folder structure will appear in the right area.
Within the status bar at the lower edge of the main window you are continuously provided with general information like the number of existing categories, CDs, folders and files.

During the cataloging of a CD, its directory and file structure is stored in a file on the hard drive. With a standard CD rom drive with e.g. 32x-s the process itself will only take about 5 seconds. The created file is only between 50 to 150 KB big, an amount, which surely everyone invests gladly in favor of increased order.
The cataloging can be done completely automatically without any effort of the user. If the corresponding option is selected, each newly inserted CD rom is read automatically.

Powerful search functions will help you to search for files and folders.
The functionality of the search dialog is divided into 2 separate sheets, in order to obtain a maximum of clarity.
On the first sheet all functions are accommodated to start the search as fast as possible. Additionally, the search can be limited further. So for example only files of a specific size can be searched, so that the allowed results can be restricted.
If desired, all available categories or only a certain one can be searched, what leads to an increase of the total search speed.

You are interested in numbers ? Then this dialog is the right thing for you !
It informs you about the number of folders and files of a CD and about its capacity, the day you cataloged it and so on. You can also take a look at the file properties. This dialog is also adapted to the view of the file property dialog of the Windows Explorer, so that you won‘t have to change your habits.

With the help of the integrated export and import functions, you can either make a full backup of your CD collection and store it on a disk, or you can export only specific categories or CDs to a disk or another drive. The created file can later be imported into another copy of CD-Catalog for Windows.
During this process you are always supported by an easily usable assistant.
With those two functions you can recover your whole CD collection, after an unexpected head crash for example, without having to catalog the concerning CDs again.
Or, however, you can use the import and export assistants in order to have the same data bank basis on several computers at the same time.
You can, of course, also transmit the corresponding files to friends or business partners.
