Nero Scout is integrated in the following Nero applications: Nero Burning ROM Nero Express Nero Vision Nero SoundTrax Nero WaveEditor Nero Home Nero MediaHome Nero ShowTime Nero Recode Nero PhotoSnap Nero PhotoSnap Viewer Nero Scout is of particular significance for Nero Home, since file searches using Nero Home find and display only cataloged files. We therefore recommend that you always leave Nero Scout enabled. Databases created by other media players catalog only the files that belong to the respective program. Nero Scout, on the other hand, makes its universal database available to all playback programs. Nero Scout creates an entry in Windows® Explorer so that you always have a complete overview available. The structure of the Windows® Media® Player library, with details such as artist, year of release, etc., is created in the Nero Scout entry.
