Data Crow 3.4.1

Data Crow is a program to register Software, Images, Music Files, Audio CDs,
Books and Movies. The registration is automated as far as possible. To achieve
this, an internet connection is needed as Data Crow uses web services
(like amazon.com, imdb.com and freedb.org) to retrieve information about a piece
of software, an audio CD or a movie. Further more, files are parsed to retrieve
useful information.

Features:

* Skinnable UI.
* Platform independent.
* Internal help system (F1).
* Nice looking and easy to use UI.
* Loan administration.
* Optional web module (multi user / remote interface).
* Create your own modules or modify existing modules.
* Advanced user configuration (access rights + field access).
* Rename your files based on the information of Data Crow.
* Highly customizable; add your own fields, alter existing modules or create a new
  one, rename any text within the application, set the fonts, ..
* Reporting (PDF / HTML / Text / XML).
* Registration of Software, Audio CDs and Music Files, Books, Movies and Images.
* Search for items using online services such as Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com),
  Imdb (http://www.imdb.com), Musicbrainz (http://musicbrainz.org) and many others.
* Extract information from files on your CD, DVD or Harddisk:
  image files (JPG, GIF, PNG), music files (technical info and tag content of
  ASF, OGG, APE, FLAC and MP3 files) and movie file (DivX, Xvid, ASF, MKV, OGM,
  RIFF, MOV, IFO, VOB and Mpeg video).
* Internal HSQL database + SQL query tool for expert users.

  "Retrieve CD information". This functionality was present in older versions of Data
  Crow (2.12) and was removed as it could no longer be supported. I have added the
  functionality as a separate plugin. No additional support will be delivered for
  this tool.
