I've been using Discware Online for years and have records for 9 full Selector 100 units. I'd like to be able to download those lists into Discware Lite on my computer. Thanks.

And vice versa.  I would like to upload my lists from my Discware Lite to Discware Online.   There needs to be a way to combine ALL lists from each unit so I don't have to look through the index of each individual unit whenever I don't remember which unit a particular dvd is in.  ie... Is "Batman Returns" in my   A, B, C, D or E unit?

I agree, this would be a very useful tool.

I do not want to manually copy all my CDs from Discgear Lite onto the Net just to print out the index sheets.

I totally agree! I've spent considerable time maintaining my lists using the Discware Lite software, blissfully unaware of the online version. Now, I find this online version, which happens to have better features than the Discware Lite software, but I can't communicate between the two. For that matter, I can't actually export a list from either to a CSV datasheet (comma separated value datasheet for importation into a spreadsheet software like Excel). This lack of functionality is really bothersome, & I find it an incredible disservice to your longtime supporters as many of these people seem to be, as am I. I have 5 (FIVE) Selector 120HD units & am in the process of buying more to accommodate my ever-expanding collection of movies & music. In fact, I haven't even begun to procure units for the around 500 CDs I already had before I started cataloging using these systems. I'll need at least another SIX units to even contemplate that process, which means I'm looking at having an entire library room full of Discgear boxes. It would be most beneficial if I could manage my lists via various formats & then import or export those lists to the various other pieces of software, be it Excel, the Discware Lite that ships with units, or the new (to me at least) online software that seems to be almost as functional as having a real spreadsheet. It seems to me that it would be wise to address these concerns, though it seems that these queries have gone unnoticed or simply ignored for some time now.

I started this forum in September of 2009, which leads me to ask of the Discgear folks are paying attention.  Admittedly, only five of us have asked for this upgrade, but it looks like we're pretty dedicated users.  I'm up to a dozen units now, and, with more competing systems out there, I think our loyalty should be rewarded.   If our request is more technologically complex than we think it should be, how about a comment that explains why it can't be done?  We've been waiting a long time.

Hi,

Make me # 6 who would like the option also to be able to download the completed title sheets. it is so much easier doing the typing with the online software, but a real bummer not being able to download.  i do love my diskgear though, i have 3 100 disk holders.

Guess i'll take #7 i've only recently started using my selector 100 but already I would like to change some of the column headings an the only way I have found is through the online version.  But after all are entered I can't sort or anything without being in the offline version.  help!!!

I'd like to be able to scan my discs with my phone or a bar code reader and have a way to import them into my list.
