Catologing music albums

[TFoS_Fan]

Hey, I'm in the process of copying all my music to computer, I have about 9 days worth in total. What I was wondering was how is the best way to catolog it. Whhich program do u guys use to keep files organised.

I have been using Windows Media Player 10 and Itunes but they don't really fulfil my needs.

There are certain specific things I want

1. I want to have CD Artwork. In Itunes I need to add it with a program (Itunes art importer) and that takes to long manually. WMP does allow automatic downloading but only find about 50% of my albums, it also will not add the artwork to the file in a way that will make it be shown by other programs, such as Itunes.

2. I want a good way of orgaising the files so I can play all my song on random, or just listen to a particular album (itunes and wmp do this pretty well)

3. A program that helps find media info for my mp3 file that have not been tagged correctly.

Hope you guys can help me

Thanks in Advance!

You could simply use ants movie catalouge to conquer this task though it is a movie catalouge it would be quite easy to catalouge anything with this application.

well for storing all your cd's onto the computer you should use a freeware program called mp3producer. its has a easy and quick burning process, an easy to use organiser and it has built in freeDB (you can select from different worldwide servers, just in case you have an irish cd for instance, you'll find the tags on an irish server)! now for your media playing thats a tough decision because theres none out there with absolutely everything in it, and im in a similar strut about whether to keep musicmatch to winamp, windows media player or itunes? but just try them all out and see which tickles your fancy, but if its alot of songs, find the quickest one because all the indexing would slow it up! so i hope this helps... :tilted

I simply use ants and type in artist and cd title in original name and it organizes every thing and outputs to a .CSV in alphabetical order I find that to be more then appropriate and then for CD number you can use that as your CD Binder refernce catalouge or what have yah...

It actually does a pretty good job nothing like downloading a CD and realizing you have it downloaded or you own it ... hehehe
