Tutorial #1 - Adding your Movies
Since getting your data into the database is
the biggest task, Movie Label is written to make
your job as hassle free as possible. Data about

function will open. Start by typing the name of

of the name) and click the Search-button. All
matches are shown in a list within a second or
two and you can simply select the movie you wish
to add to your database by selecting the desired
row. It is then possible to set assign a

click the 'Add to Download Queue'-button. The
movie will then be placed in a download queue to
be downloaded later (when you click the
