VVV is an application that catalogs the content of removable volumes like CD and DVD disks for off-line searching. Folders and files can also be arranged in a single, virtual file system. Each folder of this virtual file system can contain files from many disks so you can arrange your data in a simple and logical way.
VVV also stores metadata information from audio files: author, title, album and so on. Most audio formats are supported.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Fast in operation even with very large catalogs.
- 3 different views:
- Physical view – shows the content of each disk, you can navigate in the folders structure and see the files contained in each folder.
- Virtual view – everything is organized as a single virtual file system. You can create folders and you can assign physical volumes or folders to each virtual folder. You can assign the same file to more than one virtual folder, and each virtual folder can contain files that are stored in different disks. The virtual view is a powerful tool that will let you organize your data in a logical way: it will save you a lot of searches.
- Search view – search the catalog looking for files that meet your specification.
- Data is stored in a relational database, designed to handle millions of rows, so retrieving information will always be a quick task. The database is available in two versions: embedded and full server.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
