InterServices New Media on Monday announced the “preview release” of Mediaboard One, their QuickTime-based media cataloging and asset management software for Mac OS X. The final release is expected in May, and it can be purchased now for US$19.95, $20 off the regular price. Mediaboard One requires Mac OS X v10.3 and 10MB of free disk space. more

Isn't this kind of program pretty much going to be wiped out by Spotlight? Or is the saving grace that it can catalogue media that is not on your hard disk? Anyone have any suggestions for the best programs for cataloguing media, I need to start doing this.

Depends. Do you need to catalog via Windows as well? If so, I would use iView. If not, wait until Tiger, it may be moot.

If you commonly work with media resources that you wish to find by something other than their actual name this kind of app is great. For example, keywords, descriptions. Additionaly programs that support embedding EXIF data can transfer this information to and from Mediaboard. Licensing data can also be stored so you know for example whether an image can be used on a company website. Our company is seriously considering replacing Portfolio with this.
