I would like to scan in my cd collection. What additional software do I need?

You will need a cataloging program. I did a quick search and collectorz seems to be an app that people like for scanning CDs. It has support for a barcode and from what I see it will work with the esky scanner. I may have to look into Collectorz myself as I use DVD profiler for our DVDs/BluRays and would actually like something for CDs..

I just plugged this right in with no setup. It types out what the number is of the UPC says to it. If you click your mouse in the entry box where you want the info, you just wave the UPC code under the scanner and it will fill it right in.

The scans are simply .jpg files. You just attach with USB cord that comes with it and open the files!

You must get the one marked "DVD". The slots are too narrow for anything but CDs. Hope this helps.

You can't (unless the things you want to scan all fit on the scanner at once). HP might have a document loadder that you could buy as an add on.

I have a CD-DVD reader that I plug into my computer via a USB port. Where you don't seem to have one of those, I'd try going to the Snap Scan website and downloading the required software from there.

Thanks a lot! Any other suggestions? All-in-one with medium format slide scanner?

You must have a printer that has the ability to print cd's. I have an epson that does a wonderful job!!

There's no software that you require. It does an offline scan into the card and later you transport the files into the system. So, it doesn't matter what OS you are using. Hope that helps !Happy New Year!

I don't know, I don't use the software. Software comes with the scanner, you might try that first and see how that works for you.

I scanned slides but there is something you need to know. Once you download the Blaze Photo CD, only use the scanner. Scan in all the negatives, if you go into the Blaze Photo program everything freezes. Get the Picasa Photo program (which is free) and download that to transfer all your photos into in order to keep on pc or make a CD. It took me the longest time before I finally figured it our. Good Luck.

Yes all of those. I bought mine a few years back so I don't know if the software has been updated as my practice runs XP Pro. They are very fast at scaning and have held up well. Scott

Perhaps you are talking about a vinyl disc. You will need a turntable connected to the computer and appropriate software. I have used Wave Corrector for this for years, works great. If you have scratched CDs, the best I have found is Exact Audio Copy, which is free and does the best job possible reading the CD. I don't use any other tool, just give up on tracks that are too badly damaged. However, if the scratches are on the bottom (plastic), some sort of buffer might help. Rinsing with tap water or rubbing with thumb OUTWARD ALONG RADIUS, can help get rid of gunk. If the scratches are in the top, through the coating and into the aluminum, it's toast. None of these functions really have anything to do with the audio card, unless it has some software for this (which I don't use). CDs are fairly robust, having good error correction, so even with errors from EAC, you may get a usable recording. (Not so with DVD, where I understand they ripped out error correction to get more space.) Hope this helps - Pete

So far so good. I have a mac so they didn't send a cd to download, only for windows. I had to call and do it on line with a rep which was unusual but worked. I haven't used it a lot yet so not sure about everything. I have been using the scanner and regular copier and that works good. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. Hope this helps! Karla

I think the scanning software has some error correction capabilities It seems to work okay for me.If not maybe a third-party scanning software such as something by nuisance

I used it without the cd, but in some cases you might need it. I downloaded the software for it but never really used it.

My machine is digital/analog and the discs are cd-rw music/audio. Does not specify if they are digital.

Have you looked at the User's manual. It's on the CD and there should be an icon on your screen. You probably have inadvertently changed one of your scan options.
