I'm using it too,👍

but I’ve run into a bit of a snag. Every time I try to load a DVD into the catalog, the program just crashes immediately—it's almost like I hit the "close" button myself😕
I've tried it a few times now and nothing works, though it runs perfectly fine with standard CDs👍

For context, I have about 70 GB of music total, but I can only fit about 6 or 7 GB on my Hard Drive... man, it's frustrating, my drive is just way too small to hold everything else😢

I've got about 35.5 GB of MP3s sitting on my drive.

I just stick to really well-organized folders.

I mean, sure, but honestly? Just using the Media Library in any decent player is a much more comfortable way to go about it.
The only thing that actually matters is keeping those ID tags consistent. If you don't stay on top of that, you can't sort anything by album or artist properly. As it stands, my entire collection is incredibly organized—everything is exactly where it should be and right at my fingertips.

I'm running version 3.03b and I haven't run into any issues at all.

I’ve got about 15 GB at home,
but over 20 GB
at the office. Since I’ve been downloading more lately, I definitely need to pick up some extra storage. 😲

I actually used 3.26 myself once, but honestly, it was such a headache... Since my catalog had been built using version 3.03, the newer software just wouldn't import it properly. After a little while, everything just vanished into thin air, leaving me with no choice but to restart WhereIsIt from scratch and rebuild the entire catalog... what a mess...

Just a measly 4 gigs out of a modest 40 gig hard drive. But hey, there's plenty more where that came from.🙂

The Media Library is solid. Once you throw in that iPod plugin, the fun never really stops. 🙂

It's a great tool. Honestly, it works way better than trying to manually sort everything on my Hard Drive.

I'm with you on that.👍
