KmusicdB manages music and its related information efficiently.
The software's core goal is to provide stability, speed, ease of use, and many features that make it an exceptional music management tool. One unique feature of KmusicdB is the libdbmusic, the music database library which enables KmusicdB to perform actions on the database. This library is available as a separate component to developers. It is required to build KmusicdB, and it adds to the stability, speed, and ease of use of the software.
KmusicdB features several critical components that help it to stand out, including creating and connecting to any local or remote PostgreSQL database, backup and restore databases, adding retrieving, deleting, updating artists, titles, tracks, and categories such as boxset, format, genre, label, method, and type. It also comes with a separate reporting class for creating and running custom reports, customizable main display, customizable startup options, customizable defaults for artists, titles, databases, CDDB, and more. It is a flexible design that makes most popups implemented non-modal.
The software's features include the ability to add or edit artists, titles, and tracks with a user-friendly interface, lyric support, and the ability to add/edit/delete boxset, format, genre, label, method, type, and bands to explore. Furthermore, KmusicdB has the ability to generate customizable reports, including artist, collection, date range, bands to explore, statistics, tracks by title, titles by artist, top titles, and custom.
One of the most significant benefits of KmusicdB is that it comes with two different methods of searching your database, CDDB support, and CDDB searching when you do not have the CD or it's on another media. There is also local CDDB lookup via KSCD.
The system requirements are easy to meet, including KDE3.3+ libraries, Qt3.3+ libraries, C/C++ libraries, PostgreSQL 7.4.x, and a build environment with sufficient access to a PostgreSQL database. It also requires a modern build environment with recent libtool, automake, gcc, and binutils, libstdc++, C++ headers, libc, C headers, PostgreSQL libpq headers and library, libkdecore, libkdeui, libkhtml, KDE headers, and libqt or libqt-mt, Qt3 headers.
In conclusion, KmusicdB is an excellent music management software that has gone through several upgrades such as UTF8 usage, bug fixes, and compatibility with autoconf-2.60 and KDE 3.5. It offers a clean and stable interface, customizable options, and a variety of features suitable for individuals, DJs, and other music enthusiasts.
