I would mostly be using it in my Windows XP laptop, but I could go with a program that indexes on my Linux box, if it exported the data in a form that I could use under Windows. << I'm very fond of Collectorz.com's MP3 Collector. Without it, my eMusic subscription would be less valuable, coz I would never be able to find which disc onto which I'd burned a given album. http://www.collectorz.com/mp3/ Not free, but completely worth it (imnsho). Nice features inlcude export to XML (geek to your heart's content) flexible parsing of data from filename and/or ID3 tags, and software assists for making "The"s and "Last Name, First Name" alphabetize logically.

But her incredible first one is available from cdbaby.com - --Neile - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 09 Sep 2005 14:50:39 +0000 From: Rachel Smith Subject: Rachel Smith shows in Ontario At long last (I think it has almost been three years), I'm migrating back from the U.S. to Ontario to play two shows with old friends and Ocean Music label-mates. Thursday, September 15th: Ocean music nightThe show will be upstairs at The Richmond (used to be the B-side). 129 Peter Street (south of Queen 1 block east of Spadina), Toronto. Also playing is Tamara Williamson, Junetile and Dawn Landes from New York. Saturday, September 17th: Club 66 in Uxbridge 1 hour north of Toronto, again with Tamara Williamson. This is a lovely restaurant wine bar, so come and have dinner, too. (www.sixtysixonbrock.com) I was in France this August to play two festivals with Dawn Landes. Here is a link to a French review of the first show at the festival in Damiatte: http://www.indietronica.com/article.php3?id_article=73 In other news, I returned to Ontario in June to begin recording a third album with Karl Mohr, which will be released by Ocean in 2006. More info : www.rachelsmith.ca www.tamarawilliamson.com www.dawnlandes.com www.junetile.com www.ocean-music.com It will be wonderful to play in Toronto again. I hope to see you there!

But I do use Collectorz.com's Music Collector to catalog my CD's. Love it a lot. My student worker's tend to have many gigabytes of mp3's on their hard drives. They say that the latest version of iTunes is an excellent free cataloger for their mp3's.
