Music Label 2008 organizes your music collection. The track information on your CDs is indexed automatically, using the online CDDB music database. Images of your CD covers are retrieved from Amazon.com. Music Label helps the DJ create playlists and tracklists. Music collectors can get detailed reports and statistics on their collections and track loan and insurance issues. Traditional media, such as CDs and vinyl albums, as well as digital-media formats, such as MP3, WMA, APE, and Ogg Vorbis, are supported. Version 14 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, and bug fixes; user interface redesigned.

Pros: In addition to CD and LPs, Music Label can scan your HD and removable media for digital music files and automatically catalog them. For users with very large multimedia collections, Music Label can handle them with ease since it is built upon a real relational database (Firebird). There are various options for exporting the database, a reporting engine that outputs first class reports and a nice statistics engine to display a graphical representation of your collection.
Cons: I must admit that it was a initially a chore five years ago when I entered my 1500 CD collection into Music Label. Each CD had to be scanned by Music Label, one at a time, as it fetched title and track info from CDDB, saving me from having to enter these details from the keyboard. Since then, I have purchased roughly another 2000 CDs and found it quite easy to add these new purchases to keep the database up to date.
