Susan-Marie Database for music collection?? (24) RE: Database for music collection?? 03 Feb 01


OK folks, here is MY feedback on the suggestions in this thread, but remember, YMMV.

Access will do what I need if I build two databases and link them. The first DB has all the album info, the second DB has all the tracks for each album, and they are linked by a common control number. You could do it all in one database but I think it's a waste of time and space to type in all the album info for each track.

I didn't do much with AskSam because I figured if I was going to use a standard db program I might as well use one I already know a little about.

The freeware Bill D suggested (Music Database) doesn't have tracks, just the album info.

Bill D's two shareware suggestions are both good. I prefer MusiFind Pro because it will link to CDDB and copy all the tracks into your database for you. That is so cool! If you've ever spent hours typing strange gaelic song titles into a database, you owe it to yourself to watch the internet do it for you. Thanks a million, Bill.
