If you're a bookworm and you've literally got books all over the place, then why not get organised by cataloguing them all in a database.

And what better tool to do it with than Book Collector which is like the iTunes of book cataloguing. This simply but impressive program allows you to browse through your collection from the comfort of your PC enabling you to share and rediscover old titles that had since been consigned to a dusty bookshelf. You can order your books by author, title, publisher, year or cover art. The clever thing however is that you don't need to scan in any of the cover art - it downloads everything you need from a database simply by using the ISBN number. You can include personal details like purchase date, store, location, whether you've read-it as well as catalogue chapter lists, characters and book creator credits. In addition, the program links book entries to e-book or audio-book files. In addition to downloading cover art, it downloads a quick synopsis of each book which is great for writing reviews or sharing titles with a friend. The only thing lacking maybe is something to save your favourite quotes or pages in and possible a link to the publisher's site for the author's latest releases.

An excellent tool for bookworms that will help you get even more out of your book collection.

CATVids is a powerful database program designed to help you catalog and manage your video collection. CATVids works with all types of media, including DVDs, VHS tapes, and laser discs. It will keep track of not only your pre-recorded material, but also home videos and anything else you have taped. Using CATVids you can quickly catalog your movies by downloading information from the internet.

CATVids has a comprehensive set of data fields, enabling you to catalog a wide range of information: title, media format, release year, publisher, purchase date and price, current value, region, special features, production year, studio, rating, director, writer, cast and characters, synopsis, tape counter, recording speed, recording date, personal rating, keywords, and more.

Other features include custom data fields, a loan module (to keep track of videos on loan), flexible searching, a report designer, more than 100 pre-defined report formats, a HTML generator, pop-up menus for quick feature access and navigation, and comprehensive context-sensitive on-line documentation available at the touch of a button.

If you're a big movie fan then you'll probably have a ton of DivX files that need cataloguing and organising.

MovieManager can be used to lookup information on the Internet and locate and catalogue your movies for you. It makes organising and finding your movies much easier and features Internet Movie Database (IMDB) integration to ensure that your films are updated with the latest info. The program stores everything from cast members to production credit details including when it and where it was made.

It's also very flexible in that it can accept pretty much any kind of multimedia file as it scans your drive. It can then list and organise films based on genre, actors and other specialist criteria. If the data is wrong or you need more, it provides direct links for each film in the IMDB. You can even generate links from the database to the films on your hard drive so all you have to do is find and click the film to watch it. The problem with this is that if you constantly move your film files to external storage devices, the links get quickly out of date so it's a good idea to use just one drive and keep them all in there if you're going to use MovieManager.

A powerful way to organise films that make your collection look great and helps you learn more about your favourite films

Librarian Pro is a very flexible application to organize all your books, movies, games or whatever you wish to keep a list of. Although the program still feels quite unstable (importing or exporting didn't work properly for me), we'll let that go for now as the program is still a pre-release. What makes Librarian Pro interesting is how easy it is to view your list and create new smart collections.

You can customize the layout of lists you export and send them to the web or to your iPod. Librarian can also import elements from mulitple sources, like borrowers from your Address Book or item information from a number of sites.

The program will extract all movie information - title, director, actors, description, genre, languages, subtitles, etc. If absent, this information can be imported from online movie databases, like IMDb.com with one mouse click or entered manually.

The best thing about All My Movies is how easy it is to use. Having a tree-like database structure, program owner can quickly sort movies by genre, actor or director. Another great perk is an option to capture movie screens for DVDs and AVI files and attach them to the database. User comments can be added too.

Is your movie collection so large that you can hardly manage it? Then it's time to use Movienizer, a handy tool that helps you organize your personal movie database in a very easy way.

In fact, Movienizer supports multiple databases, so each member of the family can keep track of their own movies. Information is downloaded from several cinema websites on the Internet, which can sometimes take a while. This means that you don't have to type in anything, but at the same time the program allows you to edit any detail if you want to. Surprisingly, Movienizer kept on showing an update reminder every time we added new movies during our test, which is strange because we were testing the latest version.

Each entry has a very detailed page with all kinds of data about the movie: title, director, cast, plot summary, even pictures. The whole database can be searched on any of these topics. Also, Movienizer includes a basic embedded media player to watch videos and a loan manager, so that you don't lose track of movies borrowed by friends.

Have a better organized and much more complete movie database with Movienizer.

With the exclusive "MagicScript" Technology, and the appropriate script, XMM allows you to retrieve movie information (especially pictures, images, and covers) from any online movie databases. You can also create and edit your own scripts with the built-in editor.

If you're a movie fan then you've probably got tons of films - both on DVD and DivX - and you may be losing track of what and what you haven't got.

The important thing with any program like this is that it makes data entry quick and easy and Movie Label 2009 certainly allows this. To get going, simply start the "Movie Query" function and type the name of the movie you wish to add to your collection. The cool thing is that Movie Label then downloads data about the movie and adds it to your database automatically. The problem is that sometimes, it doesn't seem to recognise films but unless you've got a real eclectic collection, you should be OK. It also makes searching through your films easy to check whether you have a film or not - just click on the column header and your collection will be sorted by that particular field. This can be by title, name of actors or theme which is useful in organising your collection on the basis of your favourite themes or actors. To top this out, the program includes export options to XML, HTML, Excel and text files.

A great organisational tool for movie fans that are starting to find their collection spiralling out of control.

When your CD collection outgrows all the available shelves of your bookcase, you know it's time for a bit of organization. And the easiest way to organize a CD collection is by creating a catalog.

Visual CD enables you to create that CD catalog in just a few simple steps. Insert the disk into the CD drive, let Visual CD index its contents and save it as a fully searchable catalog. This means that you can later on explore, search and find files that are saved on CD even if the physical disc is not in the drive.

Visual CD doesn't work only with CD: it also supports DVD, floppy disks, removable hard drives and even folders in your system hard drive. What strikes me is the fact that each drive you explore must be saved as a new catalog, whereas other similar tools save explored drives as categories inside one single catalog.

The program features also very interesting advanced functions such as a duplicate files finder, a file splitter, a photo renaming tool, a playlist generator and a thumbnail maker, among others.

Visual CD lets you save the contents of your CD and DVD in separate catalogs so that you can browse and search your collection without having to insert each disk one by one

If you find yourself with more and more movies on your computer and you are looking for an efficient way to catalogue them, then look no further. Before wasting time on the many variations that just don't meet the standard you're after, try VisualDivX.

This handy cataloguer is very useful for creating a list of your movies quickly and to get the details of every one automatically using a database available on the net.

Soundbase was created to fill a gap in the large amount of free and commercial mp3 players. It doesn't pretend to have the ultimate MP3 or audio solution, but it will most likely fit somewhere into your MP3 playing experience. As a player, as a tag editor or as an organizer. It will always give you a quick way of doing common tasks.

Soundbase uses the windows subsystem that compresses and uncompresses audio files, the Audio Compression Manager (ACM). By using this windows subsystem the player does not require any additional DLLs or drivers, and as such a basic install of Soundbase will take less then 2mb (5mb if you install the 60 basic skins too). Windows itself supports the most common formats (MP3 , WAV, WMA). You might need to read the help section on installing more sophisticated formats (APE, FLAC, Ogg) to enable playback for those files. The Help section provides you with links to free (ACM) codecs packs and will give you information on how to best install the different codec packs and the teams personal preferences on quality and performance of these codec packs.

You can skin Soundbase, organize your music to different locations, edit tag information, search, filter, create playlists. Soundbase doesn't use any registry entries but stores all in one ini file, it is completely anonymous, it can run from any location with limited user access rights, and much more.

Smart! is the ideal tool for collectors looking to keep a track of all their artwork.

If you own a gallery and are starting to see all your purchased artwork pile up, you'll need to find a good way of keeping them organized. Smart! offers a sensible way to do this.

The application features six different views and shows artwork information like location, price and category. You can include shifting value of your artwork to always know how much your whole collection is worth and at what price you might sell a precise piece. You can generate lists which can quickly be printed out or even exported.

It's fairly easy to add new pieces of art but we did find the user interface a little confusing, probably because of all the buttons and functions that appear at the top of the interface. The start menu window you have to go through the first time you launch Smart! can take a bit of time too.

Even though the interface can seem a little confusing at first, Smart! is a useful tool for collectors to manage all their artwork.

iTunes is, for many reasons, the most popular music organizer. But that doesn’t' mean you can't use alternate cataloguers to manage your ever growing MP3 collection.

One of those alternatives is Jukes, a full featured music manager with which you can bring some organization to your chaotic MP3 library – especially if it's already too big to be manually managed. The program can automatically add all the albums in your collection by simply selecting your music folder. No need to type in any data!

Jukes displays very detailed information about each track and album, including album art. You can search the database using filters, see statistics about your music collection and even generate a report with a list of all your songs The program also features an embedded player, although we could say this is not its main strength – it ended up freezing the whole application during our tests.

If you'd like to test something different to iTunes, you may as well give Jukes a go. Though not as powerful, it's still a handy, full featured music manager.

MSD Collections enables you to organize a wide range of collections or at least, the most popular ones: books, magazines, movies, music and programs. Everything is managed under the same interface, with only one menu changing for each kind of collection.

This is clearly an advantage when learning how to use the program, something for which you will need some time due to the huge amount of options and settings available. In fact, the whole interface feels overwhelmed by tables, toolbars and icons, and its design could be certainly improved.

In spite of this flaw, MSD Collections is an excellent application. It enables you to create highly detailed records of every single item in your collections and even track loans and generate PDF reports. Plus, databases are managed with the reliable SQL technology and also encrypted for more security.
