Cataloguing my CDs is a project long in the offing, supposedly going to happen on long winter nights, which I actually spend singing, dancing and playing squash. The lockdown is the obvious time to realise it. I’m well under way with doing my books, but that’s relatively easy to do on a spreadsheet; each book only needs one entry for each field of author, publisher and year published, so a spreadsheet will do. But the information I might want to record for CDs is more complex, with each CD requiring multiple entries for tracks, musicians, possibly even lyrics for some of the folk stuff. Some of you must have attempted this / achieved this. Any advice you can give, other than ‘don’t bother, it’ll drive you mad’? In particular, is there any modest database software that would be suited to the task?
