TapeMaker V4.0b is a unique combination of an extensible music database and a cassette insert printer.

If you want to keep track of your music collection, TapeMaker can help you.  It stores album title, media, artist, songs, and song times.  It can handle albums with multiple artists.  Best of all, it allows you to configure the database to store other information of your own choosing.

If you like to record cassette tapes with a variety of songs and play them at parties, in your car, or just at home, TapeMaker for Windows can help you.  TapeMaker can help you choose which songs to put on your tape.  It will tell you whether you have chosen enough music to fill up the tape, or too much.  It will find the best arrangement for your songs so that your entire tape is filled with music - with no blank tape left.  Finally, TapeMaker will print out the cassette insert card with the list of songs on the tape and a title that you have  chosen for the tape.

TapeMaker also comes with a built-in CD player.

TapeMaker gives you:

   - a database for your music collection
   - user defined multiple-choice and text fields for customizing your music database
   - up to 100 songs per album
   - the ability to display songs in your music collection by album, artist, song title, or playing time
   - the ability to search for albums, artists, and songs
   - drag-and-drop selection of the songs you want to record on your tape
   - a running total of the playing time of the songs you have selected
   - the flexibility to configure the length of your blank cassette tape (e.g., 60 minutes, 90 minutes, etc.)
   - an optimize function that arranges the music you have selected so that it fits on your blank tape
     and minimizes the amount of empty tape remaining
   - the ability to manually rearrange songs on a cassette insert 
   - beautiful cassette inserts with a choice of fonts and background images
   - extensive help available at any time
   - The ability to export your data to dBase format, which can be read 
     by database and spreadsheet programs.
