To help you in this task, the ClassiCat CD-ROM comes with an extra database of composers works that is fairly comprehensive, including all of Handel and Beethoven, for example. Once you have put in all your entries, you can share them with friends using the import-export feature. Unfortunately, these export data files aren t designed to contain individual recordings. You enter data by clicking the Recordings icon. If ClassiCat doesn t have a piece of information such as your CD s company label or even the composer, the program presents you with screens to provide the data.
Footnotes appear next to each piece and are assigned to specific artists.
The data entry fields use an incremental type-ahead feature. For example, when I type Cho, Chopin appears as my first entry. If you have forgotten that you d already entered a recording, ClassiCat notifies you of that too, based on the conflicting catalogue number. If you want to search for a recording to display its information, you can use the Views feature. The sorting abilities are so comprehensive they are awesome.
