Well, yesterday I urged GAOTD team to focus their attention mainly on LESS SATURATED fields, but it looks like they didn't listen to me...

This GAOTD is a pretty decent Music Cataloguer which does what it claims pretty well....but why pay 30 BUCKS, and/or download it here for FREE with the UPDATE LIMITATION, if you can do the same things or even more with award-winning FREEWARE like those mentioned below?

The only answer I have to this tricky question is that you can do it only if you haven't the foggiest idea on how to find better FREE alternatives....LOL....what do you make of it dudes??

Relax...Giovanni is here just for enlighten you about this....

The program was installed and registered OK. The question is: when I ran the program for the first time in order to register and begin a music managing session, my antivirus send the following message: "Screenlogger: the program Audio Catalog is trying to capture your webpage screen. Are you sure you want this to happen every time the program is run?". I answered yes trustworthy in order to check the program features. I closed the program and when I opened in another moment I received the same message. My machine is fully virus checked and it's clean. Why does the program behaves in this way? May I trust it?

Spoke too soon in my #11 comment about the whole death penalty thing.

What I REALLY hate in a program, more than ANYTHING, is deception. If you're gonna offer a feature, offer it and don't try to make it an add-on that I later learn I have to buy. The conversion feature here does just that, apparently. Click on covert a file and it directs you to their webpage which makes you buy the conversion program.

That's pretty disgusting and I won't keep this rubbish on my pc, thank you. This program is now on death row, and I'll carry out it's death sentence just as soon as I finish this warning to others.

Thank the Lord someone said it before I did:

(Yesterday) #56/57 (some of those posted by #5 are malware by-the-way)

#5 was Giovanni, the Freebie King.

I was nearly caught last week with one of his suggestions which had malware all over it. I was lucky and now I am even more wary.

Giovanni, do/did you actually have all of your recommendations on YOUR computer or are you also a Search Engine trawler?

The GAOTD offers are malware checked!

Sorry, this is off-topic but has to be said. (LOL)

Installed and registered fine on Win XP SP3.

First impression, it looks like a modified version of Media Monkey; which is free, or get the paid version with some extras.

Now creating a new catalog of an MP3 collection of +-40'000 titles on a network drive. The only thing I can see in the progress bar is a green dot running from left to right. Yes, it shows the program is working on something. Who knows for how long I have to stare at this dot? Until I'm hypnotized??

Great, after about 5 minutes left-right, it starts showing some progress.

Finally done.
Shock! 39 titles show zero file lenght! They all run fine in Media Monkey or other players!

Maybe I'm spoiled...

Sorry, thanks but no thanks!
Uninstalled.
