A ZOT Mini-Interview with Robert Kuilman
Creator of Media Catalog.
What’s the most unique, useful feature of your product?
Media Catalog’s strength lies in its ease of use. For instance, it automatically updates available volumes.
Why did you create this app? or What need were you trying to satisfy?
I have a lot of archived media that I need to search, and a lot of computers on this network have data I need, so as a programmer developing Media Catalog seemed logical.
What features should a prospective buyer look into during a trial of your product?
Speed and ease of use. Media Catalog is the fastest out there, and I want people to know it.
What’s your favorite Mac app out there from another developer? Why?
Tough question. There are a lot of applications I use on a daily basis, and nearly all of them Rock. But I guess Cultured Code’s Things would be the most helpful.
What would you like a user to ask you?
It’s always great when a user asks for a specific feature to be added. Ofcourse some of them don’t make it into the software, but it provides a clear view of what users need and want.
What are the answers to some common questions people have about your app before they buy?
Most people want to know if Media Catalog works in their specific network setup, the answer is yes 99% of the time.

I’m a loyal user of CDFinder since version 1. Never saw a reason to switch. Got a copy of MediaCatalog some years ago when it was with another company. No updates since as far as I know in terms of features. What‘s up MacZot with all this abandonware like Soulver recently?

Soulver isn’t quite abandonware — what features would you have them build into it?
I can’t speak on this program or CD Finder, but It looks like something quite useful.

Was the application made with the same professional dedication as the icon ?

I agree with the first poster. I bought MediaCatalog on MUPromo.com and I wasn’t too impressed with it. Sure, the app is fast, but CDFinder has so many good features, like having previews for pictures, movies, etc. A week after I purchased it from MUPromo, I asked the developer of MediaCatalog as to when he will add features similar to CDFinder. He was fast to respond, but he did not answer my question to my satisfaction. A week after that, I bought CDFinder and trashed MediaCatalog.
