Product Description:

  • CDFinder is a fast and powerful disk cataloger tool that catalogs almost anything that spins, hard disks, DVDs, CD-ROMs, ZIP disks, server volumes, or even Audio-CDs and the iPod.
  • Catalog data can be shared in a network for multiple users.
  • Together with the separate CDWinder for Windows, data can even be shared cross-platform!
  • Save a lot of time by importing existing Disk Recall, Disk Wizard, Iomega FindIt, Disk Tracker, Catalogue, and CatFinder catalog files.
  • CDFinder can handle large amounts of data
  • Powerful Find functions allow data mining.
  • CDFinder reads StuffIt, Compact Pro, ZIP, TAR, .rar, and even Apple Installer (Tome) archive files.
  • CDFinder reads and searches a range of MP3 tags, along with additional information about multiple types of sound files.
  • Multilingual, eight languages in one application: English, German, French, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, Dutch, and even Chinese.
  • Easy Setup Assistant helps first time users to set up CDFinder.

What's new in this version:

  • Adds support to read the Lyrics data from iTunes 6 for both MP3 and AAC (.m4a, .m4b, .m4p) formats
  • Adds the ability to directly import Disk Tracker 2.x catalog files
  • Adds support for the Apple Mighty Mouse: Scrolling by the mouse ball is now possible in both directions. The same is true for Logitech mice with a tilt-able scroll wheel
  • Improves visuals, more controls are now fully Aqua compliant, and most messages now use the standard message window of Mac OS X
  • Deletion of catalog items is up to three times faster than before
  • Adds "Flash-Drive" as a possible volume type in the catalogs Get Info window
  • Much improved French translation by Hervé Bismuth!
  • Fixes a problem when cataloging Audio-CDs. Sometimes, one or a few tracks of any given CD were not detected properly as music tracks, but as data tracks
  • Fixes a problem with some Contextual Menus inside CDFinder that failed to work while the Inspector window was open
  • Fixes a problem of iTunes 6, where the CD titles were stored incorrectly in the old "Remote Database"
  • Fixes a little quirk where the date of catalogs was shown incorrectly in the Inspector
  • Fixes a little problem with shrinking window sizes of catalog windows
  • Fixes a problem where CDFinder could hang if the Inspector window was partially outside the main screen
  • Fixes a problem where CDFinder would never shrink the size of a catalog file, even after items were deleted from it
  • Fixes a potential crash when CDFinder failed to locate a catalog file
  • Fixes a problem where the main window could partially disappear underneath the menu bar. That was due to the toolbar, and the way that CDFinder calculated positions
  • As always, a couple of other minor issues has been solved

Product Requirements:

  • Mac OS OS X 10.2 or higher

CDFinder ReviewFrustrated - Version: 4.5, 11/17/2005 11:25PM PST

Having been impressed with the demo of CDFinder I paid for it and commenced several days of keying in details of my CDs.
It worked brilliantly for the first 215 CDs, then stopped recording them as music files and just saved small documents. I've tried all sorts of fidddles but it has never worked again, and I have been no more successful in getting any help from the developer about how to get the software to function again.

Would be great to have the new .sitx archives indexed too!

Please, implement a such feature! By the way it's a great program...

CDFinder ReviewThis is a terrific librarian - Version: 4.5, 10/19/2005 12:10PM PST

I've only used it in demo mode, but this reminds me of how pleasant simple little tools can be. I have used Findit (remember Findit? It works in 'Classic mode' even in Tiger) for nearly a decade to catalog my archives and backups. CDFinder imported the entire library without a hitch.

That it can take a peek inside stuffed archives for THAT file name data is way beyond cool. A double-click on a file in an index then askes me to supply the archive media disc to find the actual file.

Nice work!

As for price -- so many people here seem to think shareware costs are too high. What is your time worth? You are only on the planet a blink -- do you really want to spend hours searching for files because you are too cheap to pay someone else for making your life easier? Get over it.
