Media Library/Mangement Software

Does anyone know of any "good" os app that can be used to catalogue and manage a large collection of music, video, books, games and images? I would very much appreciate any help with this even if you only know of freeware or proprietary software. if it can do the job well I'd very muc appreciate it. Thank you Smile

?

Music, Video, Games, and images?
I don't think there's even a proprietary app that can handle /every/ single one of those...

Hmm

Before you said books, I had the ticket. (A pretty expensive ticket, though.) Now, I'm assuming you mean digital books, music, videos, games, and images. Windows Vista does a pretty good job of cataloging each of these (except books). Windows Media Center takes care of the media, and it has a built-in game browser. It's rather expensive ticket, as I said, but it gets the job done well and (I think) pretty elegantly.

Now, if you're talking about physical books, videos, games, music, and images, I'd make a database (any database software will do) of everything you have. It's a pain to take care of it all, but that's all I've got.

Hope that helps. Smile

I've currently got an Access

I've currently got an Access database that I have all this stuff stored in but I was kind of hoping for something a bit better as I'm fairly shoddy with access so my database is only a bare bones affair. I'd just like it if I could have like an image for each of the music albums, videos, games and books. I guess I could use a separate app for the image catalogue. Does anyone know of any good image cataloguing os software. Also if anyone can point me towards directions on how to add images to access database entries, would be very very appreciated :o)

I think

MediaMan does what you want. The latest versions (since 2.30) are shareware but maybe the 40 bucks are well spent or you try an older version from here.
