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

Introduction
============
Keep it Compact 2.0 (KiC2) is a program for cataloging your music collection.
It catalogues music on various formats (CD, LP, MiniDisc, etc...) and has
extra features for quick entry of CDs (scanning CDs in your CD-ROM drive and
CDDB support). 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
their databases and exports to their databases.

Shareware
=========
Keep it Compact 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 KiC2 evaluation version may be freely distributed on the Internet, 
CompuServe, Bulletin Boards, Cover CDs of magazines, etc... If you include 
KiC2 on a CD-rom or review it in a magazine, I would very much appreciate it 
if you would send me a copy.

See the "Registering Keep it Compact" section in the KiC2 Help file or manual
for more info about shareware and registering KiC2.
