The Ultimate Cataloger for anything. Highly customizable.

Data Crow is a fully featured cataloging program which comes with several different modules to start off -- or allows you to create your own custom modules.

One of the best advantages of using Data Crow to manage your collections is the fact that it connects to online database services to grab information about each item, whether it be a CD, MP3 or DVD. In the case of MP3s, it can also grab the file IDv3 tag information.

The program comes with a few standard modules. These include fully functional setups for movies, music files, images and even books. If it isn't included in the default installation, Data Crow allows you to create your own modules (or download them from the web).

In terms of searching through your particular collection, you can use Data Crow's very powerful search engine which provides useful and relevant results.

Overall, Data Crow is one of the most powerful cataloging programs.. especially if you're organizing with one of the official modules.
