Methods of organizing files on many CDs/DVDs

[nomind]

I'm wondering what you folks use to index files stored on various removable media. More concretely, I have a huge collection of music, pictures and videos that I have burned onto many CDs over the years. Searching for specific files used to be a problem until I wrote a little script that generated XML files by examining the directory tree of each CD. I thought I would import this into a small database but never got around to actually doing it (I just grep through the files to locate what I need).

Besides buying a new hard-drive and storing everything on there (which would probably be cheaper and more reliable than buying new DVDs), what would you recommend I use?

There is Katalog for KDE.

Thanks a lot dentharg. That seems like just what I'm looking for.
