Synopsis: This is a really heavy duty catalog program that uses its own custom database design to store catalogs. The website claims that this will produce small catalog sizes no greater than a couple of hundred kilobytes but I did find that a catalog of 1.6GB of data from a portable hard drive produced a catalog of approximately 900KB. Catalog size gripes aside, this really is a great program with lots of well thought out options. For starters the search capabilities are much more comprehensive then Catfish or MaxLister, with the ability to search for file types (e.g. audio, media, text file types etc.), the ability to search for files of certain sizes and of course the filename containing a certain string. MyLib even has a "borrowers" feature that lets you record who has borrowed any given disc from your collection.

Writes settings to: mylib.conf.fdb (catalog images are stored in separate files, by default in ./Images)

How to extract: Download the installer and install the application to the default folder. Copy all files (except uninst.exe) to a folder of your choice. Uninstall the application. Launch the program by double-clicking on MyLib.exe

Unicode support: No

License: Freeware

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
