Tracking your cds/dvds/bds
« on: Jan 01, 2009 at 10:59 PM »
Mabuhay!

Happy New Year!!!

Hey, i would just like to know how you people keep logs or tracks of your movie/music collections? Do you have a software for it or you just list it down on a logbook/notebook? Or you just know all your purchases by heart?  ;D

For me, i am lucky since my sister is the one logging it all down.

thanks for any response.

Godbless!!!
God is good all the time!!!

Make a Spreadsheet or database with Office or Access (or Openoffice, for free software).

There are software that specifically does DVD cataloging but online versions risk the 'going-out-of-business' thing while most other offline software has limits unless you pay.

If anyone is using a good free one, I'm also interested.

Currently, I track it on my Palm with JFile and a custom database. So that I had it with me whenever I shop...
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

By heart for me. I even know when someone touches my CD & DVD's...it is a trade secret.  ;)

I'm using a DVD Profiler (from Invelos) complete with names, cover photos, etc. You can also upload your database to the web as backup. In case anything happen to your computer, you can easily retrieve the database from the web. You can use this to keep track both DVD & Blu-ray :)

Using DVD profiler is convenient & it's great to keep track on your DVD library esp when you want to search for a particular movie or simply to browse tru with your family & friends to look for a nice movie to watch in a cozy evening. :)

Here's my collections (not fully updated yet). :)
