Catalog ANY file in CD Trustee |
|
|
CD Trustee can catalog any files on your hard disk, not just MP3 files. For example, you can catalog all your ".doc" word processing documents, or all your "jpg" photo images. To do this, press the "Catalog MP3's" button on the main CD Trustee screen. You must indicate the folder containing your files, and CD Trustee will catalog all the files that end with the file name type that you choose. Alternately, you can choose the files you want to catalog, by selecting one or multiple files from any folder on your hard drive or CD. You can also tell it to start at the root directory and include all sub-directories. In that case, it will find and catalog every file of the type you specify, even on your entire hard drive if you want. The cataloging process requires you to choose an "Artist" and "Album" to contain the MP3 files you catalog during any one session. The "Artist" can be something like "My Photos", and the "Album" can be something like "My Trip to Italy", or anything else you can think of. It's totally up to you. In this way you can organize any of your files into different Albums based on the type of data (or music) they contain, or based on any other scheme you decide. After selecting the album, click the button that says "Choose entire folder to catalog" if you want to catalog every file of a certain type on that disk or folder, or else click the button that says "Choose files to catalog" if you want to select individual files on that CD or hard disk. Then choose the drive letter of your CD drive or hard disk, and possibly the folder name containing the files, and press the button that says "Catalog files" on the next screen. If you want to catalog all files on a disk, choose the root directory of that disk and then place a check mark in the box that says "include sub-folders". Once you catalog those files, you can display them by right-clicking on the "track" for that file in the album, then choose "Play song" from the menu that pops up. This will start up the program that is associated with that file type and display the contents of that file. For example, if you "play" a file named "myletter.doc", it will start up your word processor (the program associated with ".doc" files) so that you can view or edit that document.
