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

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

"Laces out Dan!"-Ray Finkle

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

WMA! hehe

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.

___________________

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
