Do you have a vast collection of CDs, or trouble keeping a small collection organized? Wakefieldsoft’s Audio List Plus provides a way to keep track of your music on your Palm OS Treo.

I have been collecting CDs for many years, and have at least 600 in my collection today. I have so many that I can’t usually remember whether something is already in my collection, when I’m in a store perusing titles I might want to purchase. Since my trusty Treo 650 is always on my hip, I decided to seek a Palm OS solution. I tested a few alternatives, and one stood out from the crowd. Audio List Plus covers every base for musical information needs.

After installing the software on my PC and the Treo, I discovered entering CD information into the software was a breeze thanks to product’s Internet Data Lookup feature. Simply load your CD into your computer and let Audio List Plus and the Internet do the rest! All the vital information from your CD is copied onto the desktop version of Audio List Plus. The program finds information for almost all CDs online. In the unlikely event a CD’s information cannot be found, you can also input information manually.

After loading your CD data into the desktop program, syncronize it with your Treo. Et voila! And you can snycronize changes back and forth in the future, as well.

There are many other features that Audio List Plus allows such as identifying weather or not your selection is a title you wish to purchase, or a title you have loaned out to a friend.

The program is user friendly, and, for those challenged by the many features, there is a complete help guide that provides answers to most common questions and issues that you might run into whil importing your collection.

Conclusion

Audio List Plus is absolutely the “be all to end all” for compiling information about your music collection on your PC and Treo. For this user, it’s a must have.
