===========================================================================

Introduction
============
KiC Music is the Music edition of the Keep it Compact line of collection
managers. KiC Music lets you organize your music collection; it supports
music in various formats (CD, LP, MiniDisc, MP3, etc...). It has full CDDB
support, which lets you scan CDs in your CD-ROM drive and retrieve artist
and title info from CDDB servers on the internet. The integrated
MP3 Explorer allows quick entry of MP3 folders as albums in the database,
making full use of the MP3 ID3 tag information.
The albums in the database are displayed in a flexible, Explorer-like
screen, letting you group, sort and filter the data in every possible way.
It has a very comprehensive set of fields, including user-defined fields,
for both albums and tracks, enabling you to catalogue all information you
want.
Lists of albums or tracks can be printed in two different user configurable
reports or exported to delimited text files or HTML tables. It supports
both the MS CD Player and CDValet in that it imports from and export to
their databases.

Shareware
=========
KiC Music is shareware. The evaluation version is fully functional, but
limited to 15 albums. If you register you will receive a registration key,
which will remove this limit. The registration fee is 25 US dollars.

The KiC Music evaluation version may be freely distributed on the Internet,
CompuServe, Bulletin Boards, Cover CDs of magazines, etc... If you include
KiC Music on a CD-rom or review it in a magazine, I would very much
appreciate it if you would send me a copy.

See "Ordering" from the KiC Music Help-menu for more info about shareware
and ordering KiC Music.
