Q.
What exactly is Christian Music Finder, and what does it do?
A. Christian Music
Finder is a reference database of more than 600,000 Christian
music titles from more than 1,700 publishers and music companies. It is
available in two editions: Online via the worldwide web, and Offline via
CD Rom as a desktop database application. The online version can be used
by anyone on any computing platform that has a browser and can access the
internet. The offline version can be used on Windows 95 systems or higher.
The Christian Music Finder searches song information four different
ways: by songtitle, by artist name, by collection name, and by composer.
"Hot links" to the internet enable users to instantly link to the publisher's
or distributor's website. New secondary search capabilities permit users
to search for accompaniment tracks, sheet music and other special formats.
A data filter permits a record store to mask or filter the data so that
only the recorded songs show. A sheet music store can set the filter so
that only printed music shows.
This reference turns your
sales staff into instant experts by putting the entire repertoire of Christian
music at their fingertips. This enables staff to give unparalleled customer
service when a customer has a question.
Christian Music Finder helps
increase sales helping you point out additional collections by the same
artist that the customer might be interested in.
