Media Man - Media Organizational Program
Let me say that I am getting no compensation for plugging MediaMan. It is as an extremely happy customer that I highly recommend it.
To quote MediaMan’s self-description: “MediaMan is the ideal software to manage your media collection. It is not only a powerful tool to keep a digital catalog of all your books, videos, music, and games, but also an interactive jukebox that can enrich your digital entertainment life.
Managing a collection with MediaMan is a lot of fun. Featuring Amazon International importer, virtual shelf, tagging, barcode scanner, rental management, and fully customizable user interface, this little piece of program is fully loaded. And you’ll never believe how easy it is to use it.”
I originally downloaded the program in the summer of 2006 to upload all of my books, videos, CDs, and DVDs into an organizational format that I could easily use. Each week as I planned my lessons, I simply typed in a keyword and MediaMan provided me with all of the options my library contained, complete with cover art and descriptions to jog my memory in case I needed it. Gone were the days of searching through hundreds of storybooks and DVDs to find a few items to use that day/week.
Then, my husband, my wonderful, loving husband, got me a new computer for Christmas 2007. As thrilled as I was, I was then daunted by trying to transfer all the programs that I had painstakingly uploaded over several years to my new computer. Being right-brained like many teachers and slightly unorganized (which is the reason I needed a media organizational program to begin with!), I could not find my registration key which would allow me to install the program in my new computer.
After searching the house in a panic and learning that my husband had already cleared my old computer of “unneeded” information since he was now using it, I emailed Mr. He Shiming at MediaMan with my plight and he got me up and running again within hours, resending my registration information and directions on how to load it into my new computer.
You can’t imagine my relief and utter respect for He Shiming and his glorious MediaMan creation and I wanted to tell everyone about this program. If you are overwhelmed with trying to keep your media in check, you need to visit iMediaMan.com!

Awww…no mac versions! Phooey. Sounds like a great program, though! I’ll have to do some research to see if there’s something similar out there that I can use. Thanks for getting the wheels a-turnin’.
