Compiling CD list

bordercars

any suggestions as to what to use to compile a list of cd's.

I am just getting into the disco scene, with a guy who has been working for about 4 years. he is so dis-organised it's unreal. any way we have about 200 cd's that i want to catalogue, in A to Z of artist and also the tracks on them. I then intend to produce a set of printed data and as i have a pocket pc maybe put on that, to enable a quick search when at venues. is there a diffinetive list that i could cut and paste, as the list is going to be so long i dont fancy typing tem all , also what do i use . i have ms office. thanks

Do you use iTunes? If you have your music imported into that, you can then print out song lists.

You could put them on itunes then print off the playlist.

winamp can also print the list, however to use neither do this:

1. Simply open up NOTEPAD
2. Type this into the file dir/b/on >> c:\music.txt
-- What this does it it tells the file to do a directory listing and place it on the C:\ drive and call it music.txt
-- If you are not listing music, then chang it to programs.txt. no big deal.
3. Now. Save the file as file lister.bat and make sure you change the type to all types and save it to desktop for now.
4. Your file lister is made. Simple eh. DO NOT RUN IT YET because it's on your desktop and it will just list whatever is on your desktop.
5. If you want to list all your music files. simply move this file we created into your music folder. Then you double click on it and you will see it flash on your screen and then be gone seeming like it did nothing. Well. Open up my computer and open your C:\ drive. You should find a txt file there called Music.txt or whatever you called it.
6. Open up the .txt file that is in your C:\ drive. It will show you all your music like so.

if you have the folders set up right in the first place then it should work.

I use CD Trustee, you insert CD in drive and it will search Gracenote (free) and download details & track lising into the programme, no typing
