VVV

VVV is an application that catalogs the content of removable volumes like CD and DVD disks for off-line searching. Folders and files can also be arranged in a single, virtual file system. Each folder of this virtual file system can contain files from many disks so you can arrange your data in a simple and logical way.

The application is available for Windows and for Linux. You can exchange catalogs between Windows and Linux computers, and in a future release it will be possible to share the same catalog, stored in a network server, among Windows and Linux computers. It should also be simple to create a Mac OSX version, but I do not have access to those computers. If anybody is interested in creating an OSX version I will be glad to help him.

VVV is very fast, even with very large catalogs. Data are stored in a relational database, designed to handle millions of rows, so retrieving your information will always be a quick task.

What is new in this release:

• This version has been translated to more languages.
• It can read metadata (author, title and so on) not only from MP3 files, but from almost any audio format.
• It should not crash anymore with some corrupted MP3 files.
• It has a new file information dialog that shows all information about a file, included the list of all the virtual folders where it has been copied.
• Audio metadata cataloging is now optional. Users can disable it.

What is new in version 1.0:

• VVV has been translated into Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, and Spanish.
• It is now possible to update an already cataloged volume.
• Many people are using VVV to catalog removable hard disks: it is useful to see the content of those disks even if they are offline.
• With this new feature, you can periodically rescan those disks to make sure that the catalog is up to date.
• The program can be started with command line options to make it portable and to automatically update a volume.
