MyCollections (Free Collection Tracking Program)

[Flack]

Has anyone tried this relatively new (and free) way to track your collections? Someone try it out and tell us what you think (and how complete it is!) I'm thinking about putting my movie collection in it tonight.

Haha, I dl'ed this today and was planning on installing it tonight. Looks promising.

Just downloaded the software, and the first impressions I got was "very limited".

Sure, I may have to dig deeper...perhaps I will find something outstanding.

They do something I have wondered about with my own software.
How big of a deal would it be, legally, to have pictures of the games or movies?

I am not trying to threadjack, as they do it. I never did it personally because of not wanting to deal with legal shit

It seems a bit clunky, and it doesn't look like it has too many useful import abilities for those just keeping excel or notepad lists. I couldn't figure out how to add new categories/sub categories either

I suppose it wouldn't be too bad if someone was just starting out and documented every thing individually, but I've got almost 500 entries I need to put in there. Pretty neat idea, just not too well executed. :(

Heh, I just started to catalogue my collection... in Google Spreadsheets. :p

Does it have an import option?

Edit: SegaAges, if it pulls down the images from a site, then they could get in trouble, but I've never heard of the people who run all these programs (http://lifehacker.com/5153795/five-best-movie-cataloging-tools) ever getting into trouble. But there's the whole bandwidth leeching thing...

Thanks for the tip dude. That is good information to know
