    Optical media organizer [software request]

    I've been looking for a piece of software to help me catalog and organize various forms of data on CDs and DVDs. Text, music, video, software, images, text/source code, mostly.

    I own numerous binders, with pages for optical discs. Some are two disc per page(1 per side), and some are 8 per page(4 per side). I'd like it to visually organize and store discs in virtual binders. So I can browse them virtually, and also search for content, and have it be able to show me the exact binder and exact page the disc I'm looking for is on.

    The software would need to explore discs directory structures, and store all this information for searching and browsing. I would also like the option of it storing small(a configurable limit or option to select individual folders/files would be nice) plain text(a select list of file extensions, for instance) files for "search inside of files". That would be nice for searching for source code on my back ups, for instance. Having the full text retrievable isn't absolutely necessary. Some kind of keyword/hashing per file would be adequate. The searching should be quick, basically. I place more importance on the speed of queries to the 'robustness' of the results.

    Anyone know of any software that fits these requirements?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion, baja. Never heard of it, so I tried it out. Didn't really care for it, to be honest. I think I'll stick with Azzul for now. Re-cataloging hundreds of discs takes many hours, so I really want to find a program I enjoy using.
