Download.com Review of CD Storage Master Professional
(TOP Rating)
A
powerful program designed to catalog CD information, CD Storage
Master Professional boasts a number of handy features for
organizing your collection. The welcoming interface is
accompanied by a step-by-step wizard that opens at each launch.
We found the wizard quite helpful, since it made adding a new
entry much easier than doing so via the menus. The program did a
good job of reading ID3 tags of even burned CDs and lets you add
comments to a disc, helpful if you're searching for a particular
item in a huge database. Apart from audio CDs, the program
supports DVDs, VCDs, and data CDs. You'll even find a feature
for creating CD labels and booklets. All told, we think CD
Storage Master Professional is a fine choice for all die-hard music
junkies that want to keep a comprehensive list of their
collections.
