You could use a simple text file. I do for albums and movies.

Have you ever seen a program that charged you to download it?

For example: https://download.cnet.com/All-My-Movies/3000-2131_4-10256947.html

For all kinds of software, there are LOTS of absolutely free programs. "Free to download" means just that - and be prepared to pay if you want to use it. Occasional free programs will request a donation - voluntary. If a trial is free, but CC information is required, you will need to cancel before the end of the trial period if you don't want to use the software, or their charge is automatic. Again, there is a LOT of absolutely free software - and some of it is just as good as any paid programs of the same type!!! Free programs may or may not carry advertising.

As I understand it, the phrase came from a time when bars were offering food at no cost (“Free Lunch’j to attract customers. The booze, of couse, was not free.

One time I mentioned to my oldest son, this time honored phrase. He responded, “sure Dad there is plenty to go around.” I inquired by what he meant. He said, “Go running along a Highway with your mouth open. You’ll get plenty of bugs but I don’t like the creamy ones. You’ll also find some nice dear, raccoons and don’t forget skunks! Yummy road kill!!”

That was the last time I tried to teach my son rudimentary economics!!

With all due respect Jerry,
Your mistake was looking for something on your computer. That can lead people down the wrong path. People end up buying stuff they didn’t have, don’t need and will get them into trouble someday.

The free programs I've seen tell you that you can easily unsubscribe. But they do want your credit card number up front.

I have used Invelos in the past.

I have so much ripped and collected mp3 & flac files, that I started using JRiver.
It is the most comprehensive application I have come across.
It started out in studios in 1981 and is widely recognized as a top tier product for both audio, video, TV, and photos.
It will sort by artist, song, Album name, Genre, year etc.

I use this app to catalog, sort & play my library which is almost out of control.
Some ~9500 mp3s, 1000+ cartoons, old concert video, Comedy, Wurlitzer Organ Music, classic movies & TV pilots.
This isnot counting stuff I have ripped off CD’s. Over 2000 flac files.
Then there is still, the 800+ pieces of vinyl I need to go through.

It’s not cheap but it is a very powerful product. Supports Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux

Jerry,

I googled "open source software to keep track of DVD collection" - got 66,100,000 hits - and this was the first link to appear:

https://alternativeto.net/software/coollector-movie-database/?license=opensource

I haven't tried any of these but most are "free open source". Some are "freemium", however...

Good luck.

Ed
