(Virtual Volumes View)

Welcome to VVV. 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 MP3 files: author, title, album and so on.

It is possible to share the same catalog, stored in a network server, among Windows, Linux and OSX computers. The network server is simply a computer running a database server program. Click here for more info.

You can download VVV from Sourceforge.net.

News for the current version (1.0):

VVV has been translated to the following languages: Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish and Spanish.
Looking for more translators. Translators are welcome for other languages: it is a matter of translating a number of sentences using a helper program. You can contact me if you are interested: contact info at the bottom of this page.
It is now possible to update an already cataloged volume. Many people are using VVV to catalog removable hard-disks: it is useful to see the content of those disks even if they are off-line. With this new feature you can periodically rescan those disks to make sure that the catalog is up to date. More information in the help file or following this link.
Command line options. The program can be started with command line options to make it portable and to automatically update a volume.
Some bug fixes and small improvements.

VVV is available for Windows, Linux and for OSX (Intel only). You can exchange catalogs between Windows, Linux and OSX computers, and you can connect Windows, Linux and OSX computers to the same (Windows, Linux or OSX) server.

VVV is very fast, even with very large catalogs. Data are stored in a relational database, designed to handle millions of rows, so retrieving your information will always be a quick task.

VVV can show the content of your disks in three different views.

The first is the physical view, click here for a Windows screenshot. This view shows the content of each disk, you can navigate in the folders structure and see the files contained in each folder.
The second is the virtual view, click here for a Linux screenshot. In this 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.
The third is the search view, click here for a Windows screenshot. In this view you can search the catalog looking for files that meet your specification.

VVV does not change your operating system in any way: everything is contained in the installation folder so you can be sure that it will not cause problems to other applications or to the operating system itself.

You can help: if you find VVV useful please consider giving some help. Of course software developers are welcome, but you can also help in other ways. As you have surely noticed these web pages look really bad: if you are a web developer you can help redesigning this site. It contains really few pages, so it should not be too hard for experienced people.
