RE: Library Software

[andy.powell@xxxxxxx]

At the risk of being called a sado I did a search on Dogpile for you and
eventually found a site http://www.catalogitall.com which
has some stuff
that may be of use...

Stuart,

It's not what you want to hear, but I used Excel for my fiction library
(about 2000 books.)

My logic was that

- the data is fundamentally a single table so there wasn't particularly
any
mileage to gain out of normalising the data into anything relational.

- where I've got repetitive data (like Author name) Excel does the
"copy
down" or autofill nicely

- I figured up front that I'd want to muck around with the fields. I
subsequently added stuff like "series name" and "series
number" to the
original

On the CDs, I think the same applies. I've had trouble with CDDB on
compilation CDs, where the "performer/artist" field _isn't_ at
the CD
level
but the track level...

Mark

Does anyone know of any software that will let me catalogue my
CD/DVD/Video/MP3/Book collection?

I had a cuecat shipped over from the states a while back, so something
that
can use that would be cool as well.
