There are numerous programs - commercial & free for the individual user - which will probably do what you seek; here's a listing from Gizmo's of the ones they recommend - http://www.techsupportalert.com/search/node/music%20sorting Hope you locate one you enjoy using, From: charles meyer <reachmeplace@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 2:48 PM Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Base - music cataloging To: users@global.libreoffice.org Hi Libre Folks, Happy New Year to you all. I have many music files which appear as thus after creating a list of file names using DOS command and saving in a word processor file: 12/31/2015 10:40 PM File Size in MBs 1-25-2016 Bryan Ferry - Dont Stop The Dance Art.mp3 01/09/2016 07:31 PM File Size in MBs 1-9-2016 Talking Heads Puzzlin Evidence.mp3 07/30/2015 10:11 PM File Size in MBs 7-26-2015 David Bowie - Cat People - Putting Out Fire.mp3 That’s just a short example of all the music to be cataloged. It was suggested to me, so I could eventually sort alphabetically by artist, that I search for a music cataloging application. Then, I read Jack Wallen’s article ( http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-cataloging-applications/ ) where he suggested one might consider LibreOffice Base for cataloging. For those who’ve played around with LibreOffice Base (which I have not yet) would it be labor intensive to use Base for this purpose? It’s complicated to take this info and import it into Excel’s cells and columns to then sort. Thanks so much!
