    Update of my review for version 3.0, which in fact, has failed to impress me in any way, the new interface resembles Vista Explorer, which, in my personal opinion, i don't like. Toolbar\menu is gone as well,so i don't see where to set options.

    Not a fan of skinned applications (still use media player classic and foobar for example), the new non-client area of the window looks like Vista and out of place in my XP box. Having a built in media player, is also superfluous (at least to catalog DVD's)

    And the price is still expensive. Still looking for a good DVD catalog application

    I tried it, but if you're gonna pay for a program like this, it's tough to compare to the Collectorz products.

    By far the best DVD Cataloging program (I don't like the confusing interfaces of the other ones).

    However is not perfect.
    - The price is too high for something which one would do as a hobby (when an excel sheet or a txt file do the job) particularly after being free for some time.

    - IMDB Importing would be a big plus.

    - Keyboard support in the shelf view would be nice as well, if you press a "P" for example it does nothing when it should go items beginning with "P"

    - Lack of customization on what is shown in other view modes does not

    I still use the free version, and a recent test on the latest version did not tempted me to buy the license. But I'll keep checking, I would like to reward the author, but I don't think a cataloging program should cost so much.

    Don't know which came first but this looks just like a mac program called Delicious Library, which costs $40 too...hmmmm
    This one doesn't quite have the polish that DL has but I like it and I prefer having one program for all my books, games and dvd's rather than a single program for each like the collectorz.com approach. Just wished it would allow me to choose the sites to get info from rather than all amazon.com sites but that and a few more features keep this from being a 5.
    Thanx "aerthling" for the link to the free version
