Joe,
I downloaded the trial version and I've been screwing around with it. I
think it's pretty good, but I need to do some more noodling before I decide
it's the one for me. If I can get that cross referencing thing happening,
that just might sell me on it.
OK--are there any others out there who have any horror stories about Music
Collector? Any caveats?
For those who are sensitive that this may be off-topic, feel free to contact
me off list. But I think it's a pretty good topic since we're all music
fiends.
