    I use CDValet (windows program) to catalog my CD collection, which writes
    the output to a comma delimited text file which I then import into MS Excel
    and save as HTML. The final list looks like this:
    http://www.crackaddict.com/~a d a m EMAIL souljazz/cdlist-artist.html. CDValet saves the CD
    information in two different text files. One for the CD Title information
    and one for the track information. It would be really nice to be able to
    integrate the two files into the HTML output so that you can click on a CD
    title's name and it'll show you the track listing. But I guess that would
    require some custom programming on my part, and I just don't have the time
    right now.
