answer this question. you have 20 cds with mp3 and other files. each cd has several hundred files. you need "that one" mp3 (of any other) file. in fact, you don't even remember the exact name of the file. how long will it take you to locate it? the correct answer is 1 second if you have acat pro installed and about half a day if not. acat pro is an advanced
file cataloging
utility which can be a real lifesaver for anyone who doesn't store
data in one place. the
program can instantly find any
file stored on cds, dvds, local or network drives,
removable drives and other types of
storage media, including virtual drives. it works even if the
storage media device is not currently inserted/connected to a computer. this is how it works. each time you connect a drive, insert floppy, cd or dvd, the
program scans the contents of the
storage media device and enters information about
files it contains. it also extracts
images and data, making it possible to perform searches using boolean expressions,
file names, descriptions, notes, words, phrases, text segments, ms office document summaries,
file size and date of creation parameters. the
utility is a must-have
tool for any person who has an abundant collection of mp3
files because acat pro can find mp3
files using ide3 tag parameters (like album or author names, song titles, etc).
the
utility is of great assistance for quickly locating backed up
files that are stored on "one of those cds". in addition, the
program can also identify duplicate files. you have a choice of comparing
files by their name, size, date, or crc32 code, making it absolutely impossible to miss identical
files or erroneously confuse different ones. when performing synchronization, the
program displays a list of new, modified and
deleted files. you can also create "common folders" that "contain" certain
file types, even though they are really stored in different places. these and other options are available in acat pro's
free trial version.
