Create music playlists for Sony 300/400 CD changer.
TitleTrack Jukebox provides a revolutionary new way to create your own personal, yet highly sophisticated home jukebox system. TitleTrack Jukebox combines the power of your Macintosh and the internet with the convenience of the Sony brand of 300 to 400 disc capacity music CD Changers, to create powerful yet intuitive new ways to view, control and access your music CD collection.\nTitleTrack Jukebox uses an online database of music information (called the CDDB) to automatically inventory the CDs in your Sony changer, and then displays the artist, title, songlist and other information on each CD. Creating hours and days of continuous music is as simple as dragging and dropping individual songs or entire CDs into your own custom playlist. Create and save an unlimited number of playlists!

The OS9 version was (and is) so great with very few irritants, so I was really looking forward to the OSX version of MY FAVORITE TOY! It's a miserable failure, in my view. I can not understand how the 5 stars can be anybody but family and friends! The original development did involve 1 guy in the San Fran area, who had this great fun idea and did a pretty good job...only problem was that someone else wrote the program and therefore was hard to get bugs out of it, but he did over time and the 2.3 version is still my favorite toy on the planet, controlling 6 changers and +1600 cd's. BUT then the OSX version came out and was so bad in Beta that I would not even get involved. I bought the final product and it was so close to the first Beta version that I went back to the 2.3 OS9 copy, which I still use almost every day. It's now been sold to someone who doesn't care about it.
I really wish I could say only good things--because I do love it, but the 3xx version is terrible...too bad, really a shame!
I like the 9 version, but was hoping to jump off 9 years ago, but keep it just to run this program. I have it on it's own dedicated station, that's how much fun it is to have! 5 stars for 2.3 and zero for the newbie! Stay away!!

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have been using this software for some time (prior to OSX) and beta tested the OSX version. It fills a niche market for those with Sony Jukebox changers and large CD collections. In many ways the playlist functionality mimics iTunes only controling the CD changer instead of playing digital files. For those who prefer CD's (at least some of the time -- CD sound quality is better than any compressed codec) it does its job very well. The developer (yeah, pretty much a one-man show) has been responsive and worked hard to get the OSX ver up and running. I would reccomend the software and system to those who have the equipment and want much of the the iTunes music database functionality with their CD collection. There was an upgrade price for the OSX ver so I don't believe this is a free upgrade unless its a dot (3.01 etc) version
