AniDB already offers a number of [[AniDB_Clients]] ([[UDP_Clients]]) which can be used for this pourpose and some can even be run as Java applets. However, none of the available clients is user friendly enough to be of use to the general userbase of AniDB. Thus, many people are still adding individual files manually to their mylists or are simply using generic files. The Java Applet is meant to bring the benefits of automated mylist maintenance which is possible by means of AniDB Clients to a new audience.

The user simply selects a directory and a list is filled with all the supported media files located within that directory. The user can then decide whether files should be renamed or not and then presses the big "Start" button. All files are then hashed, identified and added to mylist one by one and the progress bar and the corresponding file entries in the list are updated accordingly. Once everything is done a notification sound is played and small popup is displayed (i.e. "Successfully added XXX files to your mylist.", with buttons "Restart" and "Close").
