Hi Lola,

I hope that you can update your music collection often enough to continue cataloguing it as a fot is good to hear that you found this form of relaxation. I amy check out the other sites you mention, although it would be nice to have it all in one set. On the other hand, tastes are specific, and you may find people with equal tastes more easily if you split your catalogue in certain niches - as you had done with separate libraries for music and books.

Thanks for your info!

Cheers,

Rene

curse you...we've been thinking about doing this. I've used a rather nice shareware program for cataloging our music - but then the program's author started charging on a per cpu rather than a per user basis and i pretty much gave up on that about 3 yrs ago. Have you figured out a way to get the cd info automatically inserted via cddb or gracenote or is it all typing?

i'll show your music entries to Patty and she what she thinks. We ARE lazy enough to want as much of the entry work as automated as possible. Really, i think it would be pretty easy for the LThings programmer(s?) to set it up to look @ gracenote and pull in the info one would want.

I'd have to think pretty hard about how to properly classify some cds. Would Thomas Mapfumo be "Afro pop", "Zimbabwe-pop" "Chimurenga", Southern African mbira/guitar music.

I guess i could put the cd in and winamp or whatever would go to gracenote and pull out the key data which we could cut and paste into LT and then edit..hmmmmm.

My God. I have been resisting all temptation to begin cataloging music once the books are finished. Do I really want to roll another stone up that hill? But people like you and the inestimable Mr. Waugh tickle me with temptation.

It can be done.

Should it be done?

no No NO!

But, nice collection, I must say.
