Wow very cool! Many thanks 64, you are amazing.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad you like it.

I forgot to mention the resizing options. First, you can resize the main window in the usual way by dragging any corner or edge. It remembers the window size and position so you don't have to adjust it each time you run the program. As you increase the width of the main window, the "Song Folder Name" column widens so that you can see your longer titles. In the middle of the screen, along the right edge of the BR section, is a vertical double line. This is called a splitter bar. When you hover the mouse over the splitter bar, the mouse pointer changes to something like "<-||->". If you then left-click on the splitter bar and drag it, the width of the BR section is adjusted accordingly. This widens the "Title / Description" column so that you can see your longer titles. Unfortunately, the position of the splitter bar isn't remembered when you close the program. I'll try to fix that in a later version.

Of course, another option is to maximize the window by double-clicking on its title bar or clicking the Windows maximize icon at the top-right. If you have a lot of songs in your song library folder and/or a lot of very long song titles, you might prefer running the program maximized.

BR Song Librarian was designed and tested for Windows XP. It should work just fine in other versions of Windows, however it has been reported that the colours don't look right in Windows 7. Everything looks white. I'm not sure if the same problem occurs in Vista (maybe someone could let me know?). I don't currently know of any solution to this problem but it doesn't affect the functionality of the program so it's not very important.

I found a minor bug in version 0.90 which would result in songs not being displayed on the BR side, but only when the songs were created on a BR-600 or BR-900. Version 0.91 fixes this bug.

Just copy the new BR_Songs.exe over the old one.

when i run it, I get a message "no disk in the drive, Please insert a disk in drive?
It runs anyway after a bit but I need to hit cancel 3 times to get rid of the warning.
It didn't do this until I canceled the little warning about "is it ok to run this program."

That's odd. It sounds like it's trying to access some removable-media drive that has no media in it. Does your computer have a built-in card reader perhaps?

Does the message give any indication of which drive it's waiting for?

Is your BR connected via USB before you start the program?

Is this happening with your BR-800, your Micro BR, or both?

Okay, I just did a quick test and was able to reproduce the error by connecting a USB card reader with no card in it. I'll post an update to fix this. In the meantime, you could avoid the error by making sure that there's a card in each slot of your card reader before you start BR Librarian. It doesn't matter what's on those cards. Or, if it's an external USB card reader, just unplug it.
