    Hi , do you have Microsoft Office / Open Office/ Libre Office. Use a spreadsheet or a database depends on what you want to do and what is a few. If you want to just create a list use notepad.... more info would help ;)

    Edit: PS how many boyfriends do you have , and how many records and dvd's of them you have :beer:

    All depends on what you want to DO with the catalogue.

    If you want merely a simple list, and you're happy to enter them in whatever order you want the list in, then Notepad, Word or any other text editor will do.

    If you want to sort them by author/artist, title, year of publication, etc then something like Excel would do.

    If you want to create relationships between different entries, a database like Access.

    now i've written that i might get a barcode reader!!

    i wanted it mainly for just cataloging but also for insurance purposes in case of a fire etc. I can't imagine them being stolen because stuff like this is bulky


    The booktome looks especially good
