Red Chair Software

This one didn't jump right out at me so I'll ask… Does Red Chair catalog CDs as well MP3s? Not everything I owe would every be ripped to an MP3 so it would be nice to have a catalog of CDs as well. I know there are tons of those for the PC and I've already got at one I'm not overly jazzed about. So it would be great if Red Chair handled the cataloging of both
A GREAT recommendation! A catalog of both your MP3s and your CDs in one spot? Why hasn't this been done?

Actually it's been… Wen Software's Music Library program will do both, however I found it really difficult in the end to do somethings I thought it could do. And I wouldn't recommend it because the last update to the program was done 2003. It would appear the develope is coasting and the discussion board for bug reporting vanish.

However, wouldn't it be nice if Red Chair did the CD cataloging and MP3 transferring. One program less database, MP3 tag editing to deal with.

It's a shame iTunes doesn't provide this, seeing as the information is already there. Everytime you put a CD and the info is retrieved from CDDB it's stored in a local file. So pulling that data into iTunes should be a problem. Trying to find CD cataloging software for a MAC proved fruitless….

So what software are you using for this… I actually thought at one point that a web based catalog system would be the way to go to solve my problems. That way it's access with anything with a browser. And actually how cool would it be to have this and be able to get to via a web phone.

It would certainly solve that problem of being able to know how many songs I already own when looking at XMAS comps. Because as you know there were only about XMAS 100 songs released and the overlap between comps is incredible. So finding a comp with a few new songs is always a feat of trying to remember what you already own. For instance the Ravonettes XMAS song showed up on at least three new comps this year…

it is all my own programming, practice for my work, data is being pulled from a microsoft access database with the itunes data being imported from itunes.xml

For you and me, yes.

For the lay man?

Smackette is tired of my programming solutions, mostly because I can never leave them alone.
