Cataloging your CDs using the CueCat barcode scanner

You can drastically reduce the time it takes to add CDs to your database. Use the CueCat barcode scanner to swipe the barcodes of your CDs. Music Collector uses the barcodes to download all information from the internet, including the cover images. You don't have to type anything yourself, so you'll have your entire CD collection cataloged in no time at all.

Software Integration

The Music Collector software has fully integrated support for the CueCat scanner.
The program uses the scanned barcodes to look up CD information in our own online CD database, as well as Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany and Amazon Japan.

CDs that cannot be found in these sources can of course still be added to your catalog by having the program scan the actual CD in your CD-ROM drive or by simply typing the Artist and Title.

Using the scanner to catalog DVDs, books and games
The CueCat scanner is also supported in our Movie, Book and Game Collector software:

Scanning tips for the Cuecat

The Cuecat is extremely easy to install and use: after plugging it into a free USB port of your Windows or Mac computer, the scanner is ready to be used in Music Collector. Start Music Collector, and go to the add automatically screen using the menu Edit | Add Albums automatically

Hold the CueCat reader between your thumb and forefinger like a pen or pencil. Place the nose of the CueCat on the left side of the code, but not within the code itself
Align the cat's paws with the bottom of the code. Tip the CueCat forward so that the nose is also in contact with the surface of the item.
Move the CueCat reader smoothly from left to right across the code in one fluent and rather quick motion. Remember to keep the reader in contact with the code throughout the swipe for an accurate reading.
