CD Cataloguing software

Posted by: calum scott on 05 September 2000

I'm looking for recommendations for software to catalogue my CD and record collection.

My collection isn't that vast but includes classical and rock so something which is flexible would be good.

As someone pointed out on another post recently it's worth having this if only for insurance purposes just in case the unthinkable happens.

Appreciate any help.

I use a simple excel spreadsheet - one on my pc at work and one on the pc at home. The chance of both places burning down simultaneously are pretty slim.

I use a product called Davilex. It is very comprehensive with more stuff then I will ever use. Cheap at £19.95. The only bummer was putting them all in there to begin with.

The spreadsheet's simple grid user interface involves less faffing about than any database application I've seen. It's very clean and direct.

Bekon Idealist works for me. Bekon.com. It's the best flat text database around (maybe). You are not fixed to any record or field format so you fine tune each record as you see fit. It accepts graphics so the album sleeves can be displayed. And it's dead eay to search. No building SQL commands, etc, just type in the search term.
