Jukebox title strip software for 45s?
What's the best thing to use nowadays for jukebox title strips? What
are the collectors out there using? I'm not looking to go crazy and maintain the condition of albums, their value, or maintain some huge database of data, but I would like to be able to keep track of it (I have it all in excel right now), and print the strips in an original looking way (different types of label colors, etc..but not computerized or 1980 dot matrix computer looking font!...) Something that looks 'original' for the time period of the jukebox... Tried the low profile software but out of the gate it was just full of errors when i installed it on my Vista machine (Yeah yeah, i know..boo vista..heh.. but I'm an IT guy and usually know how to get around most of the problems I run into before frustration sets in!...usually..heh). First I had to rename all the files in one of its directories to get rid of the 'X' at the beginning of the every filename, just to get it to startup and function. And when i went to demo how the printouts look, it gave a floating point error. Not a great start - it looks really powerful - but even the import isn't quite right...it only lets you import from DBF...who on earth uses dbf nowadays? Excel 2007 no longer lets you export files as DBF, so that's not helping the situation either.. |

If you have Microsoft Word, grab the templates from here. It's easy and
they look great: http://home.casema.nl/roosmarco/titlestrips.htm Ken D. "Peteb" wrote in message ... What's the best thing to use nowadays for jukebox title strips?
