What program do you use for listing up your Mp3?

I mean, e.g. if you have 40 CDs and you want to create some sort of database, which shows you track X is on CD Y and so on. I seriously need such a program, any suggestions?

Get a program called Audiolist. Created by a guy over at the somethingawful.com forums. This program will list your cds like this:

code:Artist/Album                                                Size     Bitrate(s)

thats cool but this program then doesnt create a database - for example it wont let you do a search on which cd is the track you need. imagine looking for a particular track and not remembering on which cd you have it - youll need browsing trough all you cd collection to find it

It saves the file into a .txt or a .html file. then if you want to know what CD an album is on, just search for the name on the list. this is My main list of my 26 or so mp3 cds:

A sample:

So all you do is open the .txt file, hit ctrl+f, then type in the album name you want and boom, it goes right to it.

The other programs prolly do databases more with more options and such but this program I find to be the easiest, most simple program to use. It literally takes 1 minute to make up a database.

Posted by Ray_Finkle on Jul-26-2002 12:07:

Oh I read your question wrong. No it does not have the capability to search for tracks as it only recognizes folders

Posted by RenderedDream on Jul-27-2002 18:48:

i use whereist

well this is a CD catalog software and the only flaw i encountered is that i can't manage to print a list of selected files i want

Posted by DJ_Lord on Jul-27-2002 18:55:

WMA! hehe

Posted by BeatFreak on Jul-27-2002 18:59:

I use the Windows XP Explorer. You can sort them all by name, size, duration, modified (important so you can list newest first), etc.

I've also used MPEG Audio Collection you can get from www.download.com.

I don't like having to refresh though to load my new mp3's. Windows Explorer does it automatically.

Posted by CygnusX on Jul-27-2002 19:36:

I keep a Winamp Generated Playlist of every cd in a directory and when I need something I just search for the trackname in the html-files.
No other software needed

Posted by obs on Jul-30-2002 09:14:

i just use (win)DOS -> text file

dir /on /b /s >c:\mp3cd.txt

/on = sort by alphabetical order
/b = basic list without filesizes, etc.
/s = include sub-directories

and then copy/pasted to an html file : ).

Posted by Vestan_Pance on Jul-30-2002 12:45:

I use DiskIndex, which does have a search function and allows you to produce a txt output of the content of each CD.

Get it here: www.drasbek.dk
