Please!!!!: Suggestions To Catalog Files Needed - P2P-Zone

spstn · 24-10-02, 04:21 PM

Between multiple cdr backups and work-in-progress cdr-ws I've amassed 600+ cds just between music, some avis and setup programs.

I'm at a point where I have no idea where is what, and I have to resort to printed lists which is a throwback computerwise.

I've tried several programs, but I seem to be unable to choose (or find) the right one.

I need suggestions about a program able to catalog different types of files, able to search, and that let me at least select the type of unit (Kb, Mb).

Thanks in advance.

I've just been browsing Download.com - they have a new prog posted entitled 'Music Label 2003', and there's a free 30 day trial available. Might be worth a look?

i catalog my cds using filemaker pro; which is basic database software. i've clearly labelled each cd starting at ONE, then input what's on each cd and cd #, and what type it is (application, video, game, music) in filemaker. then i sort one alphabetically and one by file type and output to html so i can easily reference it and/or easily link it to friends who might want to borrow something. it also has a search feature.

only problem with filemaker is that i didn't intuitively pick it up; but that was partly because i was completely new to database software so i wasn't familiar with how to think like it. now it's very comfortable for me and feels quite easy but there was a learning curve where i simply had to understand how it worked.

DiskIndex is worth a try. Works for me.
