For those of us with hundreds or even thousands of vinyl records, tapes and CDs laying around, it would be nice to have a catalog of it all. I guess it's easy enough to use a standard spreadsheet, and even easier to use a text file, but I thought that there may be something else out there that's better for this purpose. Any ideas? |

I know there's shareware out there for media cataloguing, in various languages even. That was a classic in the "reader contributions" folders of magazine CDs all through the 90s and early 2000s :-) But here's a thought - why don't you create you own personal database using Hypercard? That way you'll improve your HyperCard skills by doing it. And you can create it exactly the way you need it? See also mac-cellar also reported here that he used Hypercard for similiar purposes. Hypercard 2.3 (or even 2.4.) will work very well on your 9600 ...

I have the basic layout of a CD catalog for my classical music CDs laid out in Hypercard. I'm looking into how to build functionality to index/search/report the data. When I get a little further along, I'll share the stack. Note though, one of the stack templates that comes with Hypercard is a basic "record" catalog, and the tutorial in the manual walks you through making something similar of your own.

Hypercard sounds nice, but I was hoping for software that I wouldn't have to fool with much. The closest thing I thought of was just a simple spreadsheet in a word processor. I use Appleworks, and that might be what I settle with, but it would be just awesome if there were a more interactive database program. For example, one where you can click on a certain field and have only fields with that certain text/type show up in another one with a count of the results.
