I'm relatively new to OCD, although I've had it for awhile. I will be using it to catalog my father's record collection (4000+) that I've inhierited.

I would like to ask those more experienced users for any suggesstions, tips or tricks that will make my cataloging easier. I have discovered the Vinyl Side option which is very cool.

How do I input special characters for the French and German words?

Where can I find the album art for the older albums?

Are there suggestions for scanning in the album cover with a typical scanner?

Any suggestions will be appreciated. I am a sponge just waiting to soak up the combined knowledge of all these experienced users.

My thanks in advance.
