What don't you agree with? You are using access but you are still going to spend a great deal of time trying to accomplish what I am doing. Using Access may be faster but it is still time consuming. As far as trying not to buy duplicates, that is not always an option. Sometimes when you find a disk with a song you are looking for, there are other songs on the disk that you already have, etc. Thank you for your input.

Right but to say a book is unmanageable is not correct. You check the new discs against your existing songlist & mark any duplicates - then you simply either don't enter them or mark them to not display. Nothing unmanageable about it. Time consuming is part of being in business - at least to do it right.
