Music Inventory

I d not have any experience with doing this. My other half keeps a list of all music he has on the computer, but it is nothing formal. I think scanning bar codes and using software to keep inventory is an excellent idea.

Update....I picked up a $60 USB scanner on Amazon and downloaded the Music Collector software. The combo works like a charm, I'm making excellent progress in loading my music collection. The program has lots of options for adding notes and otherwise customizing the database to highlight the information I find important. The scanner couldn't be easier; I plugged it into a USB port, it beeped, loaded a driver, and I was on my way.

Usb scanners are really cheap and fast, i do like the efficiency of these. I would recommend getting one.

I can never find anything and my music collection is not that big. Plus, there have been times when I have purchased a CD only to find that I already owned it.

Frankly, it takes too much of my time to catalog everything. I wish I could. One time I paid my girlfriend's daughter 5 bucks an hour to alphabetize my CDs. She did it for 5 minutes and quit. Kids today....

Matchstikman- you could have at least given her minimum wage...lol
