How do you ppl catalog mp3 cdr's?

what i mean here is, how do you ppl back em up and still can search on your pc what songs/cds you got?
at same time searching the ones still on pc and backed up?

I make 4 mp3-cds/year and save the winamp generated playlist in a folder on my harddisk. Whenever I search for a specific track, I search that folder.

That's a good idea, but you make a generated playlist?

Yes, each time I finish a mp3cd, I add all files to a new Winamp playlist, press Misc -> Misc Opts -> Generate HTML Playlist (or just Ctrl+Alt+G) and save the html-file to my playlist directory. The filename is the name (or number) of that mp3cd, which makes it very easy to locate tracks I'm looking for.

http://www.whereisit-soft.com/whereisit is the best soft i found for cd cataloging, my MP3 catalog has already 83 cds in it so it must be a good soft..=P

Hmm.... *scratches chin and ponders* Maybe I should try this instead of writing them all down by hand

That's what I use as well.

Then I export it to excel, and copypaste to an ms access database, which is the base of the 'search engine' I made in asp.
Here is the result: My MP3 list
Far from perfect, but still working.

that looks real good bigdil! coud i have that asp file ?
or the code?

something like that is exactly what i had in mind, its not as good as i coud do with a cracked version of advanced mp3 catalog coz than i coud search both HD and mp3 cdrs at same time even searching the tags on them mp3's, but that woud work just fine.

problem with that other then the fact that its super expensive, if youre drive crashes, say goodbye to your mp3s

Take a folder full of MP3s, burn them all to CD and name the folder after the date that I burned them to CD. Also label the CDs in alphebetical order.

Example: MP3s (12.02.02) A-Br

Then I make a playlist from Winamp and save that. I find it to be a fairly effective way to catalog them.
