Music collection catalogin

[marbux]

Don't know how they are for accessibility or suitability to your
desires because I haven't tested them, but I found the following
prowling the Ubuntu 10.10 repositories. I emphasize that all I know
about them is contained in the quoted descriptions.

-- tellico

Tellico is a collection manager for KDE. It includes default
collections for books, bibliographies, comic books, videos, music,
coins, stamps, trading cards, and wines, and also allows custom
collections; with unlimited user-defined fields allowed. Automatically
formatted names, sorting by any property, filters, automatic ISBN
validation and full customization for printing or display through XSLT
files are some of the features present. It can import CSV, RIS,
BibTeX, and BibTeXML files; and export CSV, HTML, BibTeX, BibTeXML,
and PilotDB. Tellico can also import data from Amazon, IMDb, CDDB, or
any US-MARC compliant z39.50 server.

The files are stored in XML format, avoiding the need for database
server. It also makes it easy for other softwares to use the Tellico
data.

-- GCstar

GCstar is an application for managing your collections. It supports
many types of collections, including movies, books, games, comics,
stamps, coins, and many more. You can even create your own
collection type for whatever unique thing it is that you collect.

Detailed information on each item can be automatically retrieved
from the internet and you can store additional data, such as the
location or who you've lent it to. You may also search and filter
your collection by many criteria.

GCstar is the successor GCfilms and is compatible to its databases.
As GCfilms isn't developed any more GCstars replaces GCfilms.
