CD/DVD Catalog software

[mediaspider]

Hi,
I m looking for a good cd catalog software, which keeps the details of a cd/dvd and with a search function. I tried CD Catalog Expert, it s OK; however there could be a better one.
If anyone knows such a software, please tell me.
thanks a lot

I would try Music Collector and Movie Collector via www.Collectorz.com (http://www.Collectorz.com)

I have about 1300 CDs and a few hundred DVDs and that software made it immensely easy to database and categorise it.

Music Collector - features batch scan mode. Insert disc, it scans in the id and then spits it back out. Do that for about 10 or 20 CDs and then hit search and it searchs all of those CDs against Amazon.com, CDDB, and a few dozen others. Then you're able to pick the search results that are most appropriate.

It then downloads a ton of info about the CD, song titles, play length for each track -- even the freaking CD cover.

Movie Collector is very similar except that you have to enter a partial title and then it searchs IMDB, Amazon, Allmovie guide and that kind of thing. Still an excellent program.

It features a really nice export to TXT/CSV and HTML so it's really easy to take the data and throw it into SQL Server or an access database.

For instance, I exported to TXT/CSV, imported into SQL Server, and wrote a series of ASP webpages to access my own collection online. Check it out if you wish:

They make seperate programs for anything you might want to database. Examples:

Game Collector
Book Collector
Comic Book Collector
etc.

So you can't necessarily use one program to catalog CD-ROMS, CDs and DVDs too. But the fact that their programs allow you to search online databases for info rather than typing in each and every song title etc. And they pull down actor and character names, release dates, reviews, plot synopsis -- that makes it more valuable than a simple database program.
