Shannon Audiophiles, like other collectors, are always going to get organized. Tomorrow. Meanwhile the records, disks and tapes pile up. Album Trax can turn an accumulation into a collection. Album Trax is a database written specifically for music collections. It presents you with a form on the in screen which you type the title of the album, the artist, the category (rock, classical, jazz or whatever), year, label and format. Then you enter the individual songs and their playing times, up to 48 songs per record. There's also room for comments. Once you've typed in the collection, or a part of it, you can search and sort it by any of the categories -- everything by Frank Sinatra, for example, or all the versions of A땊a. If you want a printed copy of your collection, you can print it out on either 8.5-by-11-inch sheets or for 2-by-4-inch Rolodex cards. With the full-size print out, the program automatically totals the playing times. All this is accomplished with the help of menus, windows and, if you have one, a mouse. It works with virtually any MS-DOS computer and monitor. A thorough test of Album Trax would involve entering the names of hundreds of records, which I haven't done. But since the program is shareware, you can get a copy from another owner, a user group or a computer bulletin board and legally try it out for practically nothing. If you like it, you pay for it. Or you can get a registered copy directly by mailing a check or money order for $25 to Saugatuck Software Inc., Box 2238, Westport, Conn. 06880. Connecticut residents must add 8 percent sales tax.
