Webcam barcode scanning

Use your webcam as a barcode scanner, to add or find CDs by barcode.

Scan barcodes with your webcam
Just use the live camera view to point your webcam at a barcode
and let our software detect the barcode that is in view.
Use the webcam scanner to add CDs by barcode
Pop-up the scan window and scan CD barcodes,
either using Direct Search or scanning into the Queue.
Or use it in the main screen to find albums by barcode
Scan a CD barcode while in the main screen,
to quickly search your local database by barcode.
Works best with auto-focus or manual-focus webcams
Fixed focus cameras will not work well (or at all).

Delete Orphaned Images

Clean up your hard-disk by deleting all unused cover images and thumbnails.

This tool scans your configured Images Folders to find all images
that are not linked to your current database file.
Browse the list of found orphaned images in List or Images View.
Check thoroughly to make sure these can all be deleted.
Finally, use the red “Delete Selected Images” button,
and all “checked” images will be removed from your computer.

WARNING: Do NOT use this tool if you have multiple databases !!!!

Enhanced database Backup and Restore system

Keep multiple time-stamped backups and easily restore them.

The software now keeps multiple time-stamped database backups,
saved to your Backups folder as “backup of [yourdatabasename] – [timestamp].muc”.
Use the new “Number of Days” setting in Tools / Options / Backup to select
how many days of backups you want to keep. Older files are automatically pruned.
Use the Tools / Maintenance / Restore Database submenu to easily restore a backup.
Restored backups are copied back to your Data folder as “[yourdatabasename RESTORED.muc”.
