What's new in this version:

QuickLook Integration in Leopard: Select any file in CDFinder and hit the Space key to get a full preview of the document, song, movie, or photo (if the original file is online)! That even works for multiple selected files!
CDFinder can now catalog all metadata of AIFF songs, including Cover Art, Lyrics and all other typical fields
CDFinder can now catalog the IPTC and GPS metadata of RAW and PSD photos
MP3 Cover Art is now being read from ID3v2.2 format tags as well as the ID3v2.3 tags
CDFinder is now able to export the GPS coordinates of all selected photos (along with their names and IPTC caption) into a KML file (to be used with Google Earth and other applications)
The GPS distance search window now displays the selected coordinate in a nice world map
The Info bar at the top of the Found Items and Catalog Content windows can now be hidden through the View menu
All GPS related context menu entries now use the GPS icon from http://www.geotagicons.com/
Added some hidden settings to enhance the behaviour of CDFinder - please check the Tips & Tricks section of the CDFinder Users Guide!
Changed the keyboard shortcuts to set the label for selected items, and now uses Command-1 and Command-2 to switch the selected view from Icon to List mode
The context menu for Found Items now has the "Reveal in Catalog" entry back
The Inspector now also shows the altitude of GPS coordinates
Fixes a crashing bug when printing CD labels in Leopard (that is an Apple bug, but we could fix it anyway in CDFinder)
Fixes a bug of Leopard, where Apple has changed the behaviour of "rounded buttons". You could see that in the Find dialog. CDFinder now uses much nicer buttons to add or remove new search criteria
Fixes a bug in the GPS distance search, where a rounding error could sometimes produce incorrect results
Fixes a bug in GPS cataloging, where another rounding error could sometimes produce wrong longitude seconds
Fixes a bug of cataloging some JPG photos with XMP metadata where CDFinder would not read the IPTC comments of the file properly

I use this for several years now, and have more than 5000 DVDs and CDs catalogued, along with 700 audio CDs and two dozen external hard drives.
I have no idea how I would ever find anything without CDFinder!

Now imagine my happy surprise when they added photo thumbnails with version 5, and the update was even for free!!!

I would love to see better cover templates in the future, the current ones look nice, but the text isn't placed nicely within them sometimes - but at least CDFinder CAN print cover inlays for me, and I need no other tool for that...

The ride to Leopard is a bit bumpy, but the excellent CDFinder tech support has helped me a great deal with it, and quickly so.

The alternatives I had tried are Neometric Catalog (shiny interface, but a rather bloated database and almost no features at all) and DiskLibrary (also a shiny interface, but no printing, displaying just a single preview at a time, and horribly slow at cataloging, as well as creating a huge database), but CDFinder beats them all hands-down in any category.
