Nero Scout – Database Technology
Nero Scout is a unique database application. Many media players use a proprietary database to store meta data and the locations of media files spread over the PC. However, Nero Scout is different. It is optimized to provide you the fastest access ever to your media files from all Nero applications. It also allows you to browse your media files from Windows Explorer or virtually any application you want. You no longer have to worry about having five databases on your system each storing the same information in a slightly different way. All you need now is Nero Scout.
Extended support for the Nero Scout technology is granted in the following Nero applications:
Nero PhotoSnap
Nero Burning ROM 7
Nero Express 7
Nero Vision
Nero SoundTrax 2
Nero WaveEditor 3
