Boom library....help...how to

Hello all,

im looking for a program that will let me keep a catalogue/library of my dvd's + cd's, i would want to also 'link' all other files that are assosiated with them (ie:covers..etc) to be also seen on the page.
I think its hard work trying to locate covers/images/media info about my collection as they are all in different places!! i want a central library (that either holds all info OR one that links all the files of a certain dvd/cd from the scattered files on my pc)

**so when searching for a certain movie/cd..when it found the page (containing name/artist) it would not only have the 'MEDIA' files present (as link or not)..that it would also have dvd/cd covers displayed (as bitmap maybe)...etc etc

i've been told that Excel can be made to do what i want...but i find excel rather hard, is there any other program available?
i've used programs like 'media catalogue..amoungst others..but they are not very good..and lack substance....

PLEASE PLEASE..... IM OUT OF IDEAS!

many thanks, colin

Have you ever thought of putting all of your media files into one specific folder? Maybe have a parent folder called 'media'. Then sub-folders labelled 'dvds', 'covers', 'cds', etc? If for some reason you want to leave them scattered about your computer (which I don't recommend), you could always install something like Google Desktop, or Yahoo Desktop search. Once catalogued, they both can find files superfast on your computer.

You've got a dvd collection large enough to catalog?
