CD Bank cataloguer awarded Softpile Most Popular

Do you have a big disk collection? Have you got some difficulties with finding appropriate files or other peaces of information contained on your CD disks? Would you like to organize your collection of CD-ROMs, audio CDs in the best way? If you answered "yes" all these questions CD Bank Cataloguer is undoubtedly developed specially for you.

I would compare CD Bank with a library catalogue, but instead of books there are your various media collections, including CD-ROM’s, audio CD’s, DVD’s, and diskettes, even ZIP drives.

On the whole all types of information, which are kept on your computer and disks can be archived with the help of this program. While scanning, for example, your favorite disk in a cataloged database, you can accompany it with all possible criteria (name, size date), which afterwards will help you, providing with quick search and access to the contents of this disk through a database catalogue, even if the media itself is not currently on the system.

The interface belongs to the advantages of this program. There is familiar to you explorer-like user interface. It is very simple and easy to use even for the beginners. Moreover the interface can be used in any of the supported languages. Now let’s move on to the direct observation of functioning this program in order to create you own disk catalogue.

Beginning with the option “Start from adding your first CD” you insert your disk and add it to the catalogue. Afterwards you can create a group structure for your disks. You may group your disks according to the contents of your media, for example: music, photos documents etc. At that, after scanning a regular disk you should fill the location list and edit the default description template. All this information will allow you later on to find the needed media very quickly.

One more feature, which personally I appreciated, was the possibility to create cover images. It can be scanned disk-box image, film or album poster, stored in CD Bank Cataloguer for ease the disk search and representation. This feature is very useful for searching disk box in your physical store.

In this way all information stored on your disks can be organized and regulated. You can put unlimited number of objects in your catalogue, and if there is a need, with one click of the mouse you may copy them on to the hard drive.

Of course along with the merits CD Bank has some shortcomings as all other programs. Maybe they shouldn’t be defined as strong disadvantages, because in case of this program everything depends on what kind of user you belong to.

If you don’t have many disks in your collection, if you don’t store much information on you drives I don’t think this program will be of interests of you. But I’m sure that the most part of users will appreciate this catalogue at its true value: you get a very well and simple organized database of all possible kinds of information at fair price of $29.95. Is it possible that your saved time and efforts don’t cost this modest amount of money? Due to this program you get a full control of all needed information. So, you should just decide what you spend your spare time on.

I have used more than 7 or 8 different disk cataloguers the previous 3 years, much more in the old floppies days, and I never have been satisfied...until the day I discovered this one. Cataloguing is much more than just archiving list of files, I need to do SOMETHING with the lists: find my files (of course), especially finding the double ones on various media, but without using a LOT of tools for doing it, and you know what? CD Bank DOES IT. But look, CD Bank wasn't able to do it effectively when I first discovered it, so I joined the developpers forum, they took all pertinent needs in consideration in each new versions, and now this tool REALLY meets my needs! Amazing attention is paid to customers needs, very reactive online support made this tool, not A tool, but OUR tool, and I think it will go on until it became the ultimate one. I need it and use it everyday, you will surely need it too.
