It catalogues your CD's almost as fast as you can load a CD into your PC, and eject it again a few seconds later, neither a mouse click, nor a keypress need you make.
Once you've loaded all your CD's in this way, it hops onto the internet and adds artist and song title information to all the loaded CD's, and allows you to either search within its own built-in reports or export to Excel or other packages.
They also sell a LP/Vinyl version, where you type in the LP title, and it locates the track listings using that information.
Main program about $40, and LP bolt-on module about $25 I think.

I'm not all that techie but do any of these programmes then allow you to print a list into paper format for referal at gigs?? |
I would have thought that all the above solutions would be able to do that.
Someone above mentioned CATraxx, I've used this for years and find it an excellent programme. It's also very customisable so when printing anything you can decide as to what fields you wish to include in any print outs and how wide they should be etc.

It imports CD info from FreeDB for quick CD addition, prints 'key' track lists, has fuzzy search (so typing in "Aba dncing qn" works, for example), and exports data to my archaic (but gem-like) Psion 5MX PDA, etc.
On my (eventual) to-do list is addition of CD Text support and Playlist creator, which would probably include: BPMs, % pitch change between tracks, cue time, fade in/out times and the like, so I can record my favourite subsets/mixes for reference. (I don't DJ as regularly as I wish to, so need reminding!)
What do other Mobile DJs look for in cataloguing software, that is relevant to DJing? Anything in particular you wish for?

I do however export the programme databases files periodically into an Excel Format to use the more powerful search functions it has, and to use it as a reference for creating proposed playlists. I've never bothered trying to print it out because it would be out of date by the following week.
PCDJ uses the Freedb database but I find a lot of the time if I use it whilst ripping a CD, especially a compilation, it returns inconsistant results in naming the files. Such as calling the artist "various" or spelling errors, so I've got into the habit of leaving the function off and renaming the files myself.

I used music collector for 7 years but the last couple of revisions have made it harder to use with quite a few listing problems which have to be amended manually.

Catraxx is the one that I have just purchased.

I'm still using CATraxx and have been for many years now, but am looking for a programme that will catalogue video files as well as audio files but not found anything yet?

Music collector may offer the video files but they have got their own reference db for the track listings.
