Hi Guys,

I'm looking to start a collection of soundbytes, complete with label scans and remarks, something I believe many members on here have been doing for many years already, and was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to help me out with a template that I could then populate / fill in. Presumable this would be some kind of modified / customised database, or spreadsheet?

I have an Intel chipped MacBook but a PC version would also be okay as I have the Microsoft Office Suite for Macs loaded. I don't know if any of that last sentence was helpful, just thought I'd mention it in case it was.

I don't have the necessary skills to do it myself from scratch and because I'm almost always working away from home, I don't have the time to learn.

Please PM me if you so wish but please help me any way at all if you can.

Regards,

Denbo.

If you've got a Mac then the best programme you can get is the new database - Bento. It's incredibly easy to use and you can add whatever media you want to it. I started cataloguing my records with it recently and would be happy to send you something.

Sorry, forgot to add that it costs about £30 and is worth every penny!

Thanks.

Have PM'd you.

Anybody else with helpful info?

If you have Appleworks on your Mac the database template can be customised quite easily and if you hit the web templates I'm sure there is one for CDs that can be easily changed.

Damn, I was hoping someone would come up with an answer for PCs laugh.gif

I try and avoid having to use a PC if possible but a quick Google search reveals quite a few sites with record cataloguing software. Try these for starters:

https://kixsoftware.com/mcminfo.html

https://members.tripod.com/~Vinylville/catalog.html

https://www.brothersoft.com/record-catalog-download-6478.html

I haven't tried any so they might be rubbish or just what you wanted.
