![]() You can print an inventory list, create a disc labeling system, define ownership, loan records, show formats available, sample screenshots viewer, and even link your collection to your smart phone, for usage on the go. Once you get the films in the database, you can do many things with the data. While the majority of my entries have been done manually with Title entry, I have had prior access to a barcode scanner that greatly expedites the process, significantly (As a side note, does offer barcode scanner app that is priced to suit your needs, if you are so inclined). You can add by Titles, UPC barcode, New Releases, and Popular Searches of the online database. The toolsets that come with this fine product allow you to add titles to the database in many ways. As I stated earlier, I have in excess of 2,000 titles (Movies, TV Series, Music Videos/Concerts, etc.), so I would be lost without Movie Collector. I had inherited many, many movies on various formats (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, Digital), from my late parents, along with my acquisitions. This is a flagship title that allows me to keep track of the largest personal collection that I own. My focus software title that I want to discuss with you today, is Movie Collector 9.5 Cobalt Pro. The handiness of this is wonderful for shopping/bragging rights, wherever you may need them. Since I came onboard using these software titles, they have added cloud support that allows you to check your collections, anywhere in the world (with Internet access, of course). I have used this family of software since 2009, and each iteration and developmental change has brought greater usability and flexibility. Then I found the website, and found the software titles that I would meet my needs. I have tried free versions, trial versions, MS-Access databases, and so forth. The first hurdle on my list is reigning my massive DVD/Blu-ray collection, numbering over 2,000 titles. Having discerned what my needs are, I set out to try to find the best software for my needs. I also have carried insurance (renters/homeowners) on my personal possessions, and keeping meticulous records is key, if a claim is filed for lost/damaged/stolen items. I also want to make sure that I am able to know if I have the item in my hands or loaned to friends/family for their enjoyment. Having a very limited income now, makes me pause and make sure that I do not own an item already or have it ordered/wish listed. I know all too well what my limits are, and being able to gather information on what I own, particularly my extensive media collection (movies, music, video games, books, etc.) is a high priority. While I have technical experience and training, I am not a programmer (since my active days of working are over) I now am disabled. That said difficulty rises significantly is one does not have extensive technical software skills or the physical ability to compile the software. ![]() In a crowded space of database software titles that are customized and designed for a bevy of things, finding the right solution for one’s needs can be difficult.
