Just insert a CD in the drive, and TitleTrack automatically connects to the CDDB, an online database containing information on hundreds of thousands of CD titles, and downloads information (including disc title, artist and complete songlist) on the CD. Just click on a line of the songlist to begin play. TitleTrack CD Player includes all the standard audio control features (play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind, eject, etc.), plus you can create custom play orders for each CD; drag and drop CD Cover art into the display; enter detailed information (including guest artists, engineer, producer, label, user rating, year and more) for each CD; automatically link to Web pages relevant to the particular CD; and much, much more! Not only does TitleTrack CD Player provide a great way to listen to your music, but it also is a great way to catalog your entire CD collection. The program's "Catalog" window allows you to view, edit and organize all your CDs. You can easily create and print reports on your collection, and even export the CD information into other database programs such as FileMaker Pro. (On the TitleTrack Web site you can download FileMaker templates designed by other users for use with TitleTrack, or upload your own custom FileMaker template). The TitleTrack CD Player was chosen by CNET Central as a "Cool Tool of the Week" (and featured on its nationally syndicated television show); has been ranked the number one download in the Home and Personal category on the download.com Web Site (where it is a staff "pick" and remains one of the most popular titles); received four Cows on the Tucows Interactive Web Site; and has been called by satisfied users the "greatest thing since sliced bread" and one of the best innovations "since the wheel." Among the various improvements and enhancements, version 2.2 of TitleTrack CD Player adds a command for importing an entire folder's worth of CD cover art into a user's CD database. This version also is compatible with all the newer CD drives found in many iMacs, iBooks and G4s. A minor bug that sometimes prevented custom orders from working has now been fixed.

If you acquire the freeware Akua Sweets Scripting Additions, there is an included set of applets called SharePrint that does just that. I found it a bit tricky to set up, but the price is right. :-) My Spousal Unit runs an iBook with an attached Epson 740, which she shares with two other Macs through a mish-mosh AirPort/EtherNet/LocalTalk network. There is also a Shareware product called EpsonShare, that I've looked at but not installed. It seemed a bit 'pricey' for the benefit we might derive from it. -- Chris Schram schram@mail.coos.or.us http://www.coos.or.us/~schram/Chris/ -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
