CATraxx is a powerful database program designed to help you catalog and manage your music collection. CATraxx will let you catalog all media types, including CDs, LPs, cassettes, mini discs, and audio files. CATraxx supports CDDB - the worlds largest music database. Simply insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive, and CATraxx will download the CD data from the Internet. Designed for the Windows environment, CATraxx is comprehensive, intuitive, and easy to use.
You can work with an unlimited number of databases. This means you can split your collection into different catalogs. CATraxx allows you to change the data field names to suit your personal preferences. You can also hide the data fields you don't want to use. Ultimately, this means you can customize the CATraxx database to suit your needs.
CATraxx has a comprehensive set of data fields for both albums and tracks, enabling you to catalog a wide range of information: artist, album title, media format, release year, label, catalog number, purchase price, current value, music category, playing time, song titles, songwriters, producers, recording studios, musicians and instruments. You can store an image of the album cover, attach an audio file to each track, and add your own personal notes for both albums and tracks.
CATraxx will help you catalog your audio file collection. You can automatically create albums from folders containing audio files (this could be folders on your hard drive, or on a CD-R disc). CATraxx will read artist, title, year, and genre from the audio file tag. You can play audio files, create play lists, and export play lists for use by Winamp (or other players). The following audio file formats are supported: aac, ape, flac, mp3, mp4, ogg, shn, wav and wma.
You can effectively find the information you are looking for by using the search and filter features. CATraxx allows you search your database with any combination of data fields and operators.
CATraxx includes a report designer that lets you create professional looking reports with exactly the layout you want. Use one of the more than 100 pre-defined reports, or create your own reports from scratch. You have full control over data fields, groups, sort order, columns, fonts, colors, paper size, margins and print orientation. CATraxx lets you preview reports on screen before printing, or save reports in virtually any file format.
You can quickly generate documents to be published on the Internet. The loan module lets you keep track of albums on loan. Check the program periodically to see what is still out on loan. You will always know who has what and since when.
The statistics module allows you to analyze your collection in a variety of ways. CATraxx lets you track your initial investment and the total value of your collection. Use the backup function to make backup copies of your valuable data. With the built-in CD controller you can control the playback of audio CDs in your CD-ROM player.
CATraxx uses popup menus for quick feature access and navigation. CATraxx comes with a sample database to get you started and a comprehensive, context sensitive on-line help system.
