=========================================================
I don't actually use a computer based system... maybe I should look
into it.
I used to use 'whereisit' way back but don't remember why I stopped.
As everything I archive has to have an NFO for future posting, I just
burn a disc with an ID... say... DVD537, then create a folder on my
HDD with the same name and then copy each NFO to That folder and keep
on HDD permanently.
Therefore a quick windows search will find the title that I'm looking
for And give the DVD number that it is on.
Also has the advantage of windows searching Inside the NFO's for when
I can't remember the exact title... but will look for a 'keyword' that
'should' be in the NFO file.
Plus I can just search for a topic like 'nuclear' and pull down a
complete list of every disc with nuclear in the title OR the NFO file.
Seems to be working ok so far but I'm betting that an actual App.
would do much more.
