THE CD Library! and THE CD Library Group Server!

 

What is it?

 

THE CD Library! (with emphasis on 'THE'), is a complete solution to storing and retrieving your CD collection. It is designed to work with Dacal, ZeoTek and BesTrade USA, (all made by Dacal), CD Library carousels but you don't have to have these units to utilize the power of this software.

 

THE CD Library! is FREEWARE and it is designed to run on ANY version of Microsoft Windows including Microsoft Vista.

 

The database used is a Microsoft Access database so there is nothing proprietary and nothing is hidden.

 

 

THE CD Library! will index your data files as well as retrieve track information from the FreeDB CD Database using your Internet connection. You can listen to your audio CD (CDA files). Planned for a future release will be the ability to play your mp3, wav, wma, mp4, m4a and ogg audio files, (mp4, m4a and ogg will require the download of a third party audio codec).

 

You can scan your CD inserts, copy and paste CD images into the lower right pane of the library. There are so many things you can do and many options are available for you to make using THE CD Library! easy and in a manner that works just for you.

 

Freeware! No nag screens, no restrictions! Fully functional!

 

You can download Version 2.0 of THE CD Library! which allows access to THE CD Library Group Server. (Via FTP). Version 2.0.3.2+ adds the ability to export your data in Excel, Word, HTML and other formats!

THE CD Library Group Server! Updated: February 5, 2008

 

If you need the ability to share hundreds or even thousands of CDs in CD Library carousels and need to have multiple people using multiple PCs access the database and the CDs across a network, then this offering is for you! The CD Library Group Server works with the freeware software THE CD Library! (above). All you need to purchase is the server. Install both THE CD Library! software on your server PC, (or that one PC that has your CD Library Carousels attached), and THE CD Library Group Server software. Then on all of your workstations just install THE PC Library! software. Set your clients to the server database and everyone can use the CD library carousels, BesTrade USA, Dacal, ZeoTek and similar carousels made by Dacal, just like they were attached to their own PC.

 

THE CD Library group Server now contains an NT Service application so the server will run as a standard service on your Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista computer.

 

The server will allow any number of clients to connect. No per user fees, no client fees! Just a one time license purchase of $59.95 USD.

 

THE CD Library Group Server IS NOW designed to run under Microsoft Windows Vista! (In XP and Vista, do not forget to open your firewall for your clients and server, to port 9010).

 

This product has been fully tested in a workgroup environment using a client-server architecture where multiple Dacal CD Library IIs have been connected to a 'server' PC via an AnywhereUSB/5 Networked Remote I/O Concentrator by Inside Out Networks. A Digi company.

 

Check out this picture of networked Dacal, (under trade name of BestTrade), CD Library IIs using the AnywhereUSB/5.
