Data Crow is a powerful media cataloger and organizer that allows users to manage all their audio, software, book, movie and photo collections in one customizable tool. The program can create a huge database containing all your collected items. Connects with online services like Amazon, IMDB, Softpedia and MusicBrainz to retrieve media information and avoid manual entry. An optional internal web server and web interface can import file information (mp3, divx, xvid etc.) and enable reporting (HTML and PDF).

The program is modular to allow inclusion of new collection types (e.g. stamps, coins, action figures).

Both 32 and 64-bit versions included. Functional on Mac/Linux machines with Java installed.

After Robert Jan van der Waals, the origin developer of Data Crow, last year announced the end of his project (http://www.datacrow.net/#news), now it seems like it could continiue... https://sourceforge.net/p/datacrow/discussion/650036/

Hmmm, the first activities by the new main project developer were very promising. But by now, his last activity on sourceforge has been one year ago, as well as the last activity of the origin developer Robert Jan van der Waals. No goodby or something like this. See you tomorow and they were never seen again...

Data Crow development has been picked up again since end of year 2022 by, well, me (the original developer of Data Crow).
Great to see the updates also appear on this site, much appreciated! Expect more updates this year as I continue improving Data Crow.

I'm getting Access Denied, so either a website issue or the author is blocking Hong Kong/Chinese IP addresses.

Hi!
I am not in Hong Kong.
The download link worked perfectly for me.

Yep, IP block, fine with a VPN.

Additional note: the program appears to freeze when asked to scan directories with more than around 100 gigs of music.

I was one of the many people begging for Songbird Portable back when it was just a "hatchling". I believe it took 1-2 years before an official portable version was made -- by that time Foobar2000 became my inseparable best mate. Sure Songbird is the new kid on the block and Speed, memory and no itunes support will probably be it's Achilles heal, but it has a lot of potential through add-ons and it's web support.

As I dislike PA.com launchers myself, I went looking around for alternatives and found SongChick (for more info, see http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=60297#p60297).

This should be removed from the database. Neither the website, nor the link via archive.org do work, so there's no way to download. I guess the project is plain dead.

Craunch on 2015-06-21 13:18

The archive.org mirror link to http://ls.iatp.org.ua/download/files/mylib093ex.zip still works

Craunch on 2015-06-21 13:30

Oops! I spoke too soon - sorry.

Following the mirror site link from archive.org appears to start a download, but it stops after 125.5Kb has downloaded.

Following the link I gave above leads to a website in a Cyrillic language which I cannot read. If anyone can read it, it might explain what has happened.
