I use collectorz, mainly because it can read bar codes. I keep vinyl in a separate data base from cd's, easier to handle. From time to time I merge the bases into a single base for searching only. Entry is done is each base. Yes, many vinyl titles never got an equal cd, so manual entry is needed in most cases.
Decent software for classical LP collection mgmt?
My classical LP collection has grown out of control with various recent church bazaars and tag sale acquisitions. I need to get organized. My CD's have long been on a music server and thus they are all neatly databased, with cover art and lyrics. But my LP's are a mess.
About 10 years ago I had started to do this using a spreadsheet for the first 1500 or so albums. But I find now that I didn't record a lot of fields that I'm more interested in today (like I didn't rate any of them for condition or performance quality). Also, I keep discovering duplicate copies of stuff where I might sell it or donate the lesser copy to my church.
Anyway, this sounds like an all-winter data entry project, so I'm looking for a program that will make it as easy as possible. Any suggestions??
Thanks!
