Movie Label 2020.7

Overview

Movie Label can help to catalog all your digital, DVD and Blu-ray movie titles into a single application. See cover artwork downloaded from the internet, view actor, director and movie ratings to help you decide what to watch next. Loan out DVDs or Blu-ray discs to friends and keep track of when you lent them out and to whom. Great interface that makes working with your movie collection a pure joy.

Installation

The installation requires 28.3 MB of free space to setup the application. A default installation folder is selected but the user can browse the file system to choose a more suitable location if they wish to. A Start menu folder, shortcut icon and a Quick launch icon. Once installation is complete, there is the option to see the Readme.txt file (pre-selected) or launch the program directly.

Interface

The Movie Label interface is very slick and modern with nice typefaces used throughout. A few tiny icons sit at the very top, with four main menu items below that: File, Home, Modifications, and Data.

The left side bar lets the user Add movies and other media to their collection. There are categories for movies, media, people, on loan, and wanted items.

The center display alters depending on which side bar selection is made. For movies, the cover art for all movies within the catalog is shown, with a vertical alphabetical index down the left side to quickly filter the view to just titles starting with a certain letter. Three small grid layout icons sit at the top ready to alter the layout of the movie page. To the right of the movie selection is a search box.

To the far right is a side bar which can provide a detailed run down of a selected movie title. This includes the cover art, personal rating, IMDB rating, Rotten Tomato rating, Director, Original Music, Producers, Actors, and more.

The interface is packed but easy to use and see what you're looking for quickly.
