Data CD/DVD cataloging software for Win/PC?
« on: May 12, 2006, 10:36:59 PM »
Any recomendations for cataloging all my data CDs & DVDs? I'm getting a carousel storage unit and the software that comes with it has a lousy search engine - only searches on disc title, not contents. So I need something that searches on contents, maybe even inside zip and rar files. I've downloaded the trial version of Advanced File Organizer and it seems to do the job, but I want to get some other recommendations before I send in the shareware fee.

Thanks,
Pete

Hey kd,

I thought about Excel and actually started to build something but then realised that the contents part of the database is beyond my current skill level. And my experience with Access is minimal.

I changed the topic title to not use the word 'database', but 'cataloging' instead.

So, in short, yeah I want to avoid doing it myself.  :-D

Thanks Jasper, I'll try that one out - it looks similar but has less restriction on pre-payment use.

Mugo,
I tried CDBank but I decided to go with WhereIsIt - it has more features that make the extra $20 worth it for the way I will use the program.

Thanks to all who replied,
Pete
