The fastest way to manually add cover art in Music Label and Movie Label is to copy an image from e.g. your webbrowser and pasting it on an item by clicking ‘Use Image from Clipboard (CTRL+I). This will update the cover art of the currently selected item with the image in the Windows clipboard.
To get the image into the clipboard, simply right-click an image in your browser and choose ‘Copy’ from the popup menu.
I can’t stress it enough.. Do not forget to backup your database(s) regularly. It keeps your data safe in case of computer problems and makes you sleep better 
Note that both Music Label and Movie Label got an Auto Backup feature that performs of the current database each time you close the program. This is good if you do not have the routine to regularly perform backups otherwise. Auto Backup can be turned on in the Options dialog.
It is also possible to set the number of backups to save before overwriting the oldest one. This is a nice feature if you want to be able to go back in time.
Backups should always be created on the local harddrive (for reliability reasons). Since harddrives crash now and then it is a good idea to copy the latest backup to a removable media now and then.

Just wanted to make a quick note for Music Label 2009 users. Now that the Sort Omit function is available in Music Label, I suggest you take a look at the post about Sort Omit that I made for Movie Label a few weeks back. The same procedure is now working for Music Label:

When editing or creating reports, it might be hard to visualize how wide to make the fields when only the field name is shown. Sure you can set the AutoSize property to ‘True’ but when creating reports you want to control the field size in most situations. I know I want to control it at least 9 times out of ten.
Instead of switching between Design and Preview eveytime you can enable ‘Show Data’ from the View-menu in the Report Editor:
This will fill your fields with data from your database when you are in Design mode. Good luck with your report creation!

Currently in beta it is coming closer and closer to release.. Music Label 2009, focusing on improving existing functionality and implementing frequent user-requests, is soon ready for distribution.
Our aim is to release it before the end of the month, so anyone purchasing Music Label 2008 now will get Music Label 2009 for free upon its release. In fact, anyone who purchased it within three months of the new release will get the new version free.
I can also reveal as much as Music Label 2009 contains the frequently requested re-number function, sort omit functionality and it reads cover art from MP3 directories. A PDF user’s guide will also be released on the day of the release. Finally. More information about Music Label 2009 will come closer to the release..
