A new version of Melomania program has been released, which is developed for ordering audiocollection. The database is presented as a tree structure - the first level - the name of the artist or group, the second - the title of album. At that, each element of the catalogue has its own card which includes different information on singers and their works. For example, for the artist you can indicate genre, country, years of creative activity, and other information. If desired, this list can be amplified with such fields as real name, birth date, death date, and others. The albums can be indicated by issue year, genre and label. Besides, you can add “Wants buying” field if you have not the album in your collection yet. Covers for albums, as well as photographs of artists can be downloaded from the Internet or you may indicate to the program the path to the file on hard drive where the photos are. The latest version has the following innovations: Copying of audio data on iPod. When you connect the player the appropriate command appears in context menu, in submenu “Send”; Quick copying on USB-media (flash, HDD) through contextual menu; The ability of contextual image download from Google Images (including artist photos); Contextual file renaming (item of contextual menus Tasks | Rename Files ...); Automatic loading of covers from graphic files by assigned mask while scanning.
