CDpedia 3.6

CDpedia is a CD manager software. Its familiar iTunes style interface makes it easy to use. It integrates with iTunes so that you may know what CDs in your collection you have imported.
You can search for information about your CDs through various options in CDpedia. The easiest way is to insert a CD and let freedb.org and/or Amazon retrieve all the info for you. Or you can do a keyword search in amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de or freedb.org to find the album you’re looking for.
If you own a scanner, you can speed up the search even more. Just open the search feature, scan in the UPC and let CDpedia do the rest. (This option only works for amazon.com at the moment.)
If you already have a CD (or songs from that CD) in iTunes, CDpedia will mark the album (or the songs) with a little blue note, for your convenience. You can also play those songs directly from inside CDpedia.

Once you have gathered all the info for your CDs, organize them any which way you want. Create collections for your favourite artist or set up smart collections that automatically update themselves when another CD is added that matches the criteria for that collection.
You can also make a wish list for CDs you don’t own yet and a borrowed list to remember who borrowed what CD and when. You can export your library, or just a collection, using the HTML templates that come with the program. Or, if that is not enough, you can write your own template.
Check out the Help file on how to. Of course, there are also other export formats available, like tab delimited, comma delimited and .cdpedia, a unique format which works very well if you want to make a backup of your library or send a collection to friends.
