RUBAIYAT  I searched for a long time to replace my ideal Disk cataloguer Disk Recall when it failed to update to OSX.

When I got this with Toast I was more than happy. It is reliable, reasonably intuitive and fast, does batch scanning and auto-scan & eject of CDs, allows correction of disk names and separate libraries for different categories.

The search function is a little odd, depending where you do it, I am never quite sure it is searching one or all libraries. I'd also love to search across multiple parameters.

It also tends to dump scanned volumes into the default library even though I would rather it go into the foremost library, then I have to drag the scanned volumes across to where I really want them.

All in all it does most of what you want, has a clear pleasant legible interface and works well with Toast, cataloguing each disk as you burn it.

CHRISCHRAM  Version 4.3b1 crashes when I try to open one of my catalog files. This is still an excellent application, but skip this version.

KAKUNA  I went through many cataloging apps, testing their speed, memory usage, and user-friendliness. The contestents were DiskLibrary, Haxial's 2003 DiskCatalog, CDFinder, Media Indexer, Media Catalog, Media Indexer, and (of course) DiskCatalogMaker X 4.2.1. I tested them all on a 100GB drive with about 2000 files on it, and while some choked, or spent 5 minutes on it. Haxial's DiscCatalog was fairly zippy, but nothing comes close to DiskCatalogMaker. It scanned the whole drive within seconds, complete and reliable. Searches are just as fast, and the interface, while in it's current version less appealing than Media Catalog or DiskLibrary, is still comfortable.

LAPTOPLEON  I tried several free and shareware disk catalog makers for the Mac. DiskCatalogMaker was the most reliable by far. Others sometimes crashed at a particular (faulty?) disk or had other quirks.

Eventually, I offered to translate it to my native language, because I wanted to do something back. The author thought it was a good idea and so I did - and I still translate the updates a few times per year. DCM has come a long way and it's getting better with every version.

It's also translated in several other languages, like German, French and Spanish.

The only thing I would like to see added to DCM, is a Spotlight index function.

GENTLERF  I gave this a try on a lark. I found it quite good as far as what it does. It did take a little tweaking to not use a lot of paper for printing but other than that, quite easy to use. It would be a good thing for the developer to ensure the printout will fit on a landscape orientation page from the beginning (just my preference), or allow for dynamic page resize to fit the paper and printer for the system.

TIM27  It would be cool if the rows were alternating colors to make viewing easier.

It's a good program though.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  I'd bet that if you contact the developer with your suggestion, it will get implemented.
