Single-click Import
Can import of items be done via a single mouse click? Of course!
Webcam barcode scanning during import from Amazon
Just press “Import” on the toolbar, and MediaMan will switch to import mode. Your webcam shall be started within seconds. Then, you only have to flash the barcode part of your items in front of the webcam*. When you hear MediaMan beeps, your job is done.
MediaMan will automatically search for the description of your item from Amazon. When this process completes, you'll see the item appearing in your collection. See how easy that was?
Doesn't have a webcam? No worries, you can still use your keyboard to enter the title, or get a USB barcode scanner* to scan-in the data.
The Blue Hyperlinks
The blue part of the text is not just to distinguish important stuff. They are functional links that you can click to access more functions. We designed it to replace buttons and save your precious screen space while still offering quick access to common features.
A versatile bottom pane containing not only statistics, but also shortcuts to common features
Take the bottom pane for example. It allows you to change sorting options as well as navigate between categories. Even when the category pane is hidden, you still get a chance to choose other categories.
Tagging
Using drag & drop on the tag view
When you have a big collection. It can be difficult to locate anything, even with keyword searching, and nested categories. That's when tagging comes handy.
Tagging is like putting labels on the items. This allows you to organize based on subjects, locations, genre or anything on your mind. You can create tags by editing the tag field, or assign tags using drag & drop. MediaMan will display related tags if multiple tags are assigned to items.
* For optimum performance on barcode scanning, consult the FAQ and see if your webcam requires configuring.
* USB Barcode Scanners: Typical USB barcode scanners expose themselves as an HID (Human Interface Device) to Windows. Just like keyboards, they don't need drivers and they output the result in the form of keyboard strokes. Make sure the input cursor is in the edit box when you use it.
Requirements:
