The new CDFinder 5.7.1 now catalogs geotags in iPhone moves, and imports native DiskLibrary databases!


CDFinder 5.7.1 has these new features and fixes:

• CDFinder can catalog the GPS tags in .MOV video files created by the Apple iPhone! That gives you the same geotag related features as with photos, such as starting a geosearch, or showing the point in Google Earth or on the built-in map

New version 2.0 of the MP3-Info runs in Snow Leopard

MP3-Info is a free iTunes and Finder companion designed for Mac OS X (version 10.5 or 10.6, PowerPC- & Intel-Mac)

It displays information about audio files, such as their duration, the bitrate, and also some important MP3-Tags, such as the artist, the title of the song, lyrics, cover art, and some more, all directly with the Finder or iTunes! That can save you a lot of time when have to manage songs often. It also shows these information for AAC files created by iTunes, and WAV, and AIFF files.

And best of all: It is free!

So download and enjoy this amazing tool today!

What is new in MP3-Info 2.0?

• MP3-Info is now an application, because Apple has killed the Context Menu Modules in Snow Leopard, most unfortunately!
• MP3-Info now follows either your Finder selection, or the current iTunes song, or the iTunes selection. This makes MP3-Info an amazing iTunes companion!
• Lyrics are being displayed in a separate and optional window. That way you can finally see the lyrics of the current song in iTunes while it is playing, without messing with the iTunes controls!
• Cover Art is being displayed, if it is contained in the actual song file
• Integration into Twitter.com allows you to tell the world what song you are currently listening to (uses a web browser)
• Three different tag editing apps can be connected: ID3X, The Tagger, and Media Rage
• Find similar songs in your CDFinder library with one easy click

Apple kills CMMs, GPS-Info returns!

The recently released Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) adds cool new stuff, but not for the first time, Apple has also killed features. This time, the Contextual Menu Modules (CMM) were axed. So no really flexible context menus in the shiny new Cocoa Finder of Snow Leopard. Sigh. That was also the death of GPS-Info CMM.

But we didn't give up!

If GPS-Info can't run as a CMM in Snow Leopard, it will now be a compact and superfast utility application. And offer even better integration and features.



So download and enjoy GPS-Info 2.0!

The new CDFinder 5.6.1 now catalogs EyeTV recordings, and has a beautiful street level map for the GPS search!


Watch a video covering the cool new features:


We are very excited about this new version. Not only does it fix some annoying bugs, CDFinder 5.6.1 also offers two really hot new features:

• CDFinder now catalogs Elgato EyeTV recordings (.eyetv). CDFinder will show the thumbnail for the recording, and also important metadata as well, such as the EPG description, director, actors, and much more. All that is cataloged, displayed, and can of course be searched as well
• The GeoFinder inside CDFinder now uses the street-level OpenStreetMap for the GPS search (requires 10.5 or newer)! That is much nicer than the built-in map, but since it requires Internet access, the old map is still available. Many thanks to Dirk Stichling!
• New CoverPrint templates: one for US-Letter format Avery 5692 labels, and one more for the HP Photosmart Direct Print. Thanks a lot to Deneen Winchester-Ristow and David Robinson for their incredible help on this!
• Double clicking a found item coming from iPhoto will now show this item in iPhoto. There is also a contextual menu command for this, too. You can get iPhoto results by using the GeoFinder, and asking it to search the iPhoto 8 database, too

All new features are listed here.

And best of all, it is a free update to existing CDFinder 5.x users, so go ahead and download it now!
