Maestro Manager

Posted by: AWS on 24 January 2010

Does anyone have experience with Maestro Manager, a software program specifically for classical music collections. The inherent problem with MusicCollector in my opinion is its not designed to deal well with multiple composers, multiple artists etc. on a single cd especially when you're doing searches. Looking at Maestro Manager's web site, I'm inclined to give it a try. Just checking out there if someone is already using it (or has tried it).

I take from the silence that no one uses or has heard of maestro manager for classical music cataloging.

I know what you mean about Music Collector and Classical - the default searches tend to lead to chaotic population of fields.

I persevered and use a separate database for Classical and everything else, and resign myself to re-organising whatever the default searches give me. So the main index is Composer, which means you can easily add multiple composers to an album.

I've also added the relevant musicians and instruments where applicable.

I haven't bothered exporting all of the information but (as posted elsewhere) this is how it ends up for me
