Media Indexer for Mac2.5

Looks like the program i've been looking for. Unfortunately it crashes my OSX10.5 MacPro. lets un update is on the way and i can trial it again

Media Indexer is a simple and easy to use catalog app with a small footprint and a clean interface. Price and feature fit my needs perfectly. Version 2.4 indexes fine on Leopard (10.5.1) but every time an index is selected, the name is highlighted automatically and the app crashes instantly. Also, Media Indexer won't remember window size and position, at each launch it reverse back to default. It would also be nice if we could change the size of the icons and text in the sidebar.

Darn! I just tried this...it worked flawlessly...indexed my 400 gig drive in a short time...but I'm in Venezuela and my credit card on paypal just expired! Oh well...keep up the great work!

It automaticaly stored volume name in the Indexed Media pane.

Does it assign names to volumes?

Very nice idea, really helps when searching for stuff

I bought it minutes after I first used it. It indexes medias much faster than CDFinder although it's true it hasn't all its bells and whistles. If you want simply a program to index your Hard disks, CDs or DVDs then look no further. By the way I didn't experience any crash as reported by some users. I use a 24" iMac with System 10.4.10.

Can anyone who has demo'ed this tell me whether it displays images. My backed up iPhoto library is displayed with generic icons. Not mush help when the majority of images are named with the default DSCxxxx.

leary of the crashreports

Application crashes when adding items to index. Using Mac OS version 10.4.10 on Mac Pro.

There is no option to "print" records. This is needed.

CDFinder seems to me better. I is for more money, but is more valuable for its price. In my opinion.

Interesting take on an old problem - IOMega Tools had this feature years ago, but never brought it to OS X. CDFinder seems to offer more functionality, albeit at a higher price.

Sounds like promising software. I do wish MacUpdate would post the promos in advance so people would have a chance to demo them first.

old school concept, but still valuable. Seems worth a spin

Isn't this what smart folders are for?

I've been looking for something like this. I'll definitely have to check it out.

Now this is a very cool promo. Does anyone know if Leopard is going to have this feature built-in?

This is absolutely what I need -- if only it would index my CDs. Am I missing something? The app is working because I can index my external drives, but when I put in a CD and create a new index, it adds the CD image, but does not list the songs. Anybody else? I have tons of compilations CDs (The Greatest Hits of the 70s, for example -- I know, I know, practically an oxymoron), and my kids are always asking me if I have such-and-such on CD. If I don't have it, they buy it from iTunes. I'm sure I could have paid for this software several times over with what we've spent at iTunes that I already had on CD, but other than manually creating a DB of my songs, which I actually started to do one day when I'd lost my mind, I didn't see any other options. Now I am trying this, but I can't get it to work for me. It says it's for Intel Macs, so that can't be the problem. It's not that involved, so why can't I get my CDs indexed?

I recently realized that I have 13 (yes 13) external hard drives that I have stored various bits and bytes on. Laptops are great but since hard drive space is limited, it's hard to keep track. Media Indexer looks like just the thing to help me find what I'm looking for without swapping drives all day.

Hoping this program will solve my file organization needs.

You should give it a try.

Pretty looking interface!

great!

Interesting, and affordable enough. How does it assign names to volumes, so that i can later find the disk I need to insert?

So far, I use CDFinder... Excellent app !

Nice... but I’ve been with CDFinder for more than six years and see no reason to switch,

cool app

I'm guessing this is something like what comes with Toast 8 to catalog your discs?

Honestly, I'm not sure what this is for... is it a replacement for the Finder? Guess I'll be downloading the trial.

Can Media Indexer import catalog from other programs, like CD Finder for instance?

This is good news, I was eyeing this app for some time. I now have a good reasn to check it out.

Looks good... I'll have to check it out

I use CD finder, but this might be pretty good for my lighter used computer.

I've been wanting to give this one a try. Good Price.

works for me, I like that it's "Universal", created Index-file is searched by Spotlight (so you find files on unmounted Volumes, which I find very important), it's fast, takes little space to store Information (could maybe get an option to collect preview of media files)

Downloaded and tried to launch. Crashed on launch. Could not get it even to open.

The developer site says "Try Media Indexer for free now! Click here to download Media Indexer PR2." Is this a beta of a commercial product? If so, I don't consider that the same as "free."
