New features in CATraxx 2000:
* Many exciting new features, like filtering and grouping, in the
Browse and Track View windows. For more information, please see
the help file ("Introduction/What's new").
* You can now print the contents of the browse list (list of albums
in the main window, or list of tracks in the Track View window)
simply by clicking the Print button on the toolbar.
* Various data entry enhancements. The Choose Artist dialog box is
now a thing of the past. You can now type the name of the artist
directly into the Artist field, or simply select from the drop-down
list, just like other lookup fields (for example Format or Company).
The Award, Nomination and Subtitle fields also work like the Artist
field - simply type directly into the field.
* In addition to printing or previewing reports, CATraxx can now send
a report to a file. CATraxx supports the following file formats:
Adobe Acrobat, Archive (a special file format that lets you store
report output so that it can be previewed and printed later), Excel,
HTML, HTML/CSS2, JPEG, Lotus 1-2-3, Quattro Pro, Rich Text Format,
and Text file.
* New data fields: Album.New Album, Album.Soundtrack, Album.Valid MS
Disc ID, Album.Valid cddb Disc ID, Track.Rating, Track.Arranged by,
Track.Mastered by and Track.Mastered at.
* New lookup table: Track Rating.
* You can modify the contents of the SPARS lookup table.
* You can now sort on the following fields: Album.Overdue, Album.Change
in Value and Loan.Overdue.
* CATraxx will now always notify you if the Reference number is in use
(also when you have modified the reference number of an existing album).
* Added the ability to copy information from one track to another when
registering a new track (Track -> Copy Track Information).
* New menu short cuts in the Track Edit window:
Ctrl+K: Choose Track
Ctrl+I: Change Side
Ctrl+R: Rearrange.
* Enhanced Statistics module.
* Loan Transactions window: You can change the column order. Click on a
heading to sort on that column.
* CATraxx now uses the HTTP protocol instead of e-mail when submitting
disc data to CDDB (you do not have to specify e-mail server). This
means that if you can download disc data from CDDB, you will also be
able to submit disc data to CDDB.
* Download from CDDB window: Click on the heading of the column
you want to sort on.
* CDDB: You can now transfer lyrics from the Comments field to the
Lyrics field for all tracks on a CD in one operation if the
lyrics were downloaded from CDDB (Tracks -> Comments->Lyrics).
* CDDB: Added the ability to transfer the artist name from the
Title/Comments field to the Artist field (useful for compilation
CDs) in the Track Edit window if you forgot do this when you
downloaded the CD.
* You can now use Windows Media Player to play multimedia files
(Tools -> Preferences -> Multimedia -> Use Windows Media Player
to play multimedia files). Please note that when this option is
activated you will not be able to pause or stop the playback from
within CATraxx (you must do this from the Media Player window).
When this option is not activated, CATraxx will still use the
services of Media Player, but the playback (including pause and
stop) is controlled from within CATraxx.
* You can use Winamp (now freeware! - www.winamp.com) to play MP3
files (Tools -> Preferences -> Multimedia -> Use Winamp to play
MP3 files).
* Added a "Shift With Band" property to all report objects.
* Added the ability to launch the external CD Player from within
CATraxx (Tools -> Preferences -> Multimedia -> Use external CD
Player). Please note that if the "Open database for exclusive
access" option is selected you will not be able to use the
external player when CATraxx is running.
* CD Player: Added a separate window to display the lyrics
(View -> Show Lyrics).
* New setting in the external CD Player: Stop playing on Exit.
* If you have more than one CD drive, you can now change the drive
CATraxx will use from both the CD Player and the "Download from
CDDB" window (Options -> Device).
