Best players now are Calibre, Datacrow, Alfaebooks and elibrary, but only calibre shows fast upgrades. I could identify some points that should be included/upgraded in XMM: 1) file management: move, copy, rename (with templates from stored data, mainly ISBN, author(s), title in desidered order: I use ISBN for example). Possibility to arrange file AUTOMATICALLY by author or other criteria would be a benefit (see Calibre) 2) database merging: a provisional database is used to ented data and when complete is merged with the main database 3) metadata retrieving from metadata fields, file name or by parsing pdf, chm, djvu (difficult) files 4) file metadata update from database metadata 5) ISBN retrieving from file content (see alfaebooks or elibrary for practical examples) 6) other to follow If you like I can provide you, if needed, with some hints on items above (for example which libraries can be used to manage pdf files...)   Check here to include your profile signature.
