There has been a few enquiries on here regarding my old LMS Cataloging program ( I used to call it Documenter ) which scans your LMS server and produces an interactive indexed PDF of your music collection - by interactive I mean you can click on an artists name and you will be directed to a list of the artists albums and tracks with the album artwork.
There are some of you on here that are familiar with the workings of the program but for those that aren't I show basic download / instructions below - there is a thread on here where someone shows a graphical howto of using the program which is much better than what I show here but I don't know how to create a link to another thread.
I've put a revised version of the documenter on my Dropbox - the only major difference in this version is you have the option to exclude the album artwork which reduces the file size massively. To give you an idea of the difference artwork makes my collection with artwork produced a file of 27mb and without it is 1.3mb.
Click here to dowload the zip file

Once you've downloaded the zip file unzip it into it's own folder and try it out ( double click on the .exe file ).
When the form appears
Enter your name in the textbox at the top of the form this will appear on the first page of the pdf and select a folder for your output file don't try to add a filename this is generated automatically.
Click on the Scan For LMS Servers button ( it used to do this automatically ) and wait until your server details appear on the form.
Then click Scan Music Library and watch the checkboxes on the right of the form being checked one at a time.
Once all of the checkboxes are checked
Check or uncheck add album art then click the Generate Pdf button and watch the progress.
It can take some time to scan your network for a server but it will find it if there is one.
Let me know how you get on.
