What is on those CD's anyway?

Created by David Penrose (San Juan College) on July 2, 2005

In a mad attempt to discover the content on over 300 CDs, I started looking for a program to allow me to enter the list of files, mp3, pdf, doc, and zip that make my life sane in the unfortunate event of a total OS collapse. You know what I'm talking about! How many times do we delete a program to make way for what we hope is more productive software application? Every day.

Enter a nifty utility called CD Bank Cataloguer, which allows me to create a complete collection of CD content simply by reading the contents. The best part of the feature is that it not only is searchable, but I have the ability to keep track of the CDs location. For example, when I take a certain CD to work or if I loan the CD to a friend ... I know what they are and where they are at all times.

Nice!
