Music Collector gets its CD data and cover images from our own online CD database. Users of the program help build and maintain the database by submitting data and images to us using Music Collector's Submit feature. Our content managers judge and process the submitted data manually, so that data quality is ensured.
Browse your CD inventory on screen, ordered the way you want (e.g. by Artist, by Genre, by Purchase Date, etc...). You can view your lists in a columnar List View or in the cool Images View, showing just album cover art.
Group your CDs in folders, e.g. by Artist or by Genre or scroll through them as one big list.
Alternatively, browse your music database in Track View, where tracks can be listed, grouped and sorted, independent of the CD they appear on.
