Is there a future for OrangeCD

[gurnemanz]

Thanks for the update. OCD continues to work fine for me as it is and any quibbles are minor. I use it all the time and it has become indispensable to me in overseeing my large music collection. Speaking selfishly, given all the hours I have spent on getting the database just as I like it, I just want the project to keep going and am grateful for all efforts that go into achieving that.

I am pretty much in gurnemanz camp on the update issue. If there were no future updates it would not matter much to me. It does what I want my music manager program to do and isn't bloated with features that are useless to me. The interface is just fine and I can make the displays do pretty what I want. Sure there are a couple of glitches (it reads data from MP3s in the wrong order so that the reference number is screwy, but it is no problem to edit this when I am entering other data on the Library tab). Orange CD isn't the only program of mine that Norton would make a mess of, but there are lots of good options to Norton and I use one.

Andrei.. that is good news to see that you aren't abandoning OCD.

I know how time consuming a new project can be and I am glad that you are going to keep doing the minor fixes to the current version while you work on the new one.

On that note I will throw in my top request... Generate playlist from an advanced search result... as to why... I have purchased a WDTV Live Plus Media server... Just a little box that you can attach external USB drive or connect to your network to access all of your viedo, music and photos... and then to your TV. Their music support kinda sucks if you want to just use it as a jukebox to play random music. It will support playlist, but not generate them, and I don't necessarily want it to always play selections from my entire collection. But I also don't want to create playlist manually selecting what songs to include in a playlist. I want the function of the Advanced Search in OCD to create say a playlist of all songs from the 1960's OR 1970's with a genre of rock OR folk, AND NOT the artist bob dylan or artist joan baez... etc etc... Or a playlist of 1950's female jazz vocalists. There is nothing on the market that I can find that would do such a thing except OCD.

Looking forward to seeing beta releases of the NEW and IMPROVED OCD soon ;O)

Again thanks for letting us know that you are alive and well and working hard on our behalf.
