If you want a quick system for managing thousands of tracks
without the horrendous overhead of most media players,
MediaMonkey (.com) is a great solution. It only allows 3 custom
fields, so it's not a db-centric approach, but it is amazingly
fast and handles many thousands of tracks easily. The interface
is like a simplified WinAmp or MusicMatch or iTunes, but you get
to control everything, and it doesn't try to download videos and
take over your system.
There's a free version, and a slightly more powerful registered
version.

If anyone responds to this request for database management
information
please don't do so exclusively off-line as requested - please
include a copy
to the group. In that way we can all benefit from the
information, it's one
of the advantages of a group like this.

Subject: Media Database?
Hey all,
I'm working with a project that's collecting audio recordings of
stories.
Sorry that this isn't exactly the domain of this group (unless
you consider
humans naturally occurring critters, but that's a different
discussion...),
but I'd like to tap the experience of the group.
I'm interested in database software for collection and
organization of media
-- audio files, etc. -- both for archiving and for building a
web interface
around.
Please respond offline to Thanks!
Scott Shepard
