Skip this one, This not to catalog CDs and DVDs.
sesa- Pros
- No pros ... except it is free
- Cons
- Advanced Disk Catalogue still the best on the list until I found a better catalogue CD or library organizer.
- Summary
- Do not bother to install it. It looks like an old fashion Disk Jokey generate errors.
Hopeless installer
pauljj32- Pros
- Impossible to try properly
- Cons
- Despite several careful attempts the installer was so badly behaved that it corrupted the Registry on WinXP Pro SP2 and refused to complete the installation after the requested reboot. Uninstalling the remains was a nightmare as bits were left behind. Firing up the installer EXE from the desktop started the installation sequence for another unrelated program already installed! On a clean machine it simply hung and refused to complete.
- Summary

hotcakes192002- Pros

- Summary
they're gone and it doesn't work...
rrtopaz- Pros
- not a thing...
- Cons
- you must restart to use the "special fonts", which i did do; website is gone...no help there. can't add new cd into database, which already comes with lame artists like fleetwood mac and sade (UGH)!
- Summary
Minor headaches
spelingchampeon- Pros
- It was free.. cant argue with that.
- Cons
- Not much in the way of 'ease of use' when trying to update with CDDB info or making changes. Deleting a database record is next to impossible.. must move/create another music database. Crashed on my XP system now and again. CDDB gives me constant errors anymore.
- Summary
Hard to use, and very unstable.
northwindone- Pros
- Looks up cd info on the web.
- Cons
- Unstable, <p>Very ackward and confusing interface, <p>Would not start half of the time

Developer’s Description
Mega Disc is a program for cataloging and locating your CDs. It has many features for managing music CDs, DVDs, MP3s, and data discs. It catalogs your music CD collection using information from the Gracenote CDDB music recognition service (the world s largest music database), so you don't have to type. Any kind of CD your computer can recognize can be added to the catalog.
In addition to being a full-featured disc cataloger, Mega Disc has unique capabilities for tracking and locating your discs. Mega Disc organizes your loose discs into a library of viewable storage units, making it easy to find and retrieve them. It lets you see what is in a container of discs, making it more convenient to keep your disc library in high-density storage cases or binders (without jewel cases). No matter what you store your CDs in, with or without jewel cases, they can be organized into a real library. It is freeware, there is no advertising or spyware.
