You might try Gaby. It's a lighter weight Dbase like the old DBaseIV of days gone by. And one of the samples it comes with is a Dbase and gui for editing/cataloging your CD's It also has a Gui for creating these Data Bases much like DBaseIV. You can grab it here. http://membres.lycos.fr/fpeters/gaby/
