In Reply to: Anyone know any good cd/lp cataloguing software? posted by jkend on December 04, 2002 at 18:58:59:
I use it to keep track of my 3100+ CDs and LOVE it! I've posted about it here several times before, so won't bore you with the details. Searching all forums for "CATraxx" will bring up all the info. Good listening.

Just found CATraxx on TUCOWS, the Windows shareware/freeware software websites. Installed it and took a look. I loaded in Simon Rattle doing three of Hayden's symphonies--can't recall exactly which but the first was the 22nd (Rattle has two such discs) and watched it check the internet for cd information. It missed Rattle as the conductor, it missed the name of the orchestra, got Hayden as the artist, got the track names and times. But it looked to me as if it had no special format for classical discs.As I looked around, it appeared I could add fields. That's fine. But I could find no way to make certain the CD info tracked off the internet would fit in the new fields. So I concluded the program needed a genre mode to switch between layouts, one that was compatible with the way the data comes in from whatever internet location it grabs it.
So I uninstalled it and am looking for something else. Did I miss something? Admittedly, this was a quick and dirty look.
Yeah, it seems that classical music is always a problem, but I think that the field structure of the CDDB itelf is largely responsible for this. Sorry that I didn't realize you were talking about cataloging a classical collection. If I had, I would have tempered my enthusiasm a bit!
thanks.
