MusicFrame Help

What the hell is MusicFrame?

If you're really interested in music and/or you've a big collection of CD, MC, LP, Video etc. then this software is for YOU!

MusicFrame for Java is a xBase type database to store data with musical relation. In fact it's a program that can manage your cd, mc, lp or whatsever collection. It can show crossreferences between bands as the main goal.
If you once have your database up to date you can pre calculate a planed recording to cd or mc etc.
The song titles and times on your cds can be read direct from your cdrom drive by pressing a button. MusicFrame gives you some information 'bout your collection and database.
MusicFrame are able to create a database for various cd players available on Linux, OS/2 and Windows.
So you can keep all cd players with all your cds up to date.
This version includes a little demo database. If you want the full database, you'll have to register your copy.

Why should I register my copy?

In the future MusicFrame will support your plattform of choice only if I have registrations! Please read the file readme.txt for details on registration.
Registered users will receive a ready to use database with nearly 1800 records and 4500 Musicians. Registered users will receive updates to the MusicFrame database from time to time.

I miss some features, where do you hide it?

This version is beta software and still under developement. Not all features are implemented yet.

Features are underway: printing cover for cd, linux support, windows 9x support.
