I always used the Sony library software, from my old 500 model, 300 and now the T1.
The T1 library software is miserable and I have gone over to Calibre.
I hated the sonyware trying to synch my entire library to my T1 every time I connected the darn thing. I have unchecked all the synch boxes but it still tries.
The latest sonyware library update did nothing to make me want to keep the craptastic library.

I spent several hours yesterday importing my entire book collection to the Calibre system. Cleaned out all the duplicates, made sure I had all the "tags", all the cover art. Calibre did a fantastic job using Google and Amazon to show me the cover art for the books that just had the plain jane black and white covers. I used the "series" function to group all my series into proper order.
Calibre is so much better than sonyware. I have even donated to Calibre.
I've used Calibre in the past to convert books to the epub format and change book cover pictures but not to this extent. I was satisfied with the old sonyware library for my 300 but now it is Calibre all the way.

Thanks Calibre...well done : )
