@antifa: This was a translation from Polish and of course it made sense there — I removed that, thanks for noticing

How does “Written by a Pole” count as an advantage? Would a programme written by me, a Bosnian, be a disadvantage? Please clarify this! You know, if you write a site in English, please be aware of the fact that also non-Poles read it! I usually like this site very much, but this is really outrageous!

Currently, I’m also searching for this kind of program in linux. But all apps you have mentioned are abandoned just like you said. I’m considering tellico. But anyone know does tellico able to index/catalog the content of the cd/dvd?
I have bunch of mp3’s cd that I need to cataloged.
Beside that, anyone have tried VVV ??

I’m still using Advanced Disk Catalog via Wine under Linux because the native-Linux offerings are so…. crappy. There’s no other way to describe them. This is the last Windows application I can’t replace because the plethora of Linux options are either abandonware or are extremely minimalistic, such as Gnome Catalog (which, in true Gnome fashion, gives the user almost no options because… well, users can’t handle checkboxes and the like, can they?! Damn I hate Gnome!)

I have a similar problem to solve, in my situation I needed an app that works on Windows & Linux. I find one thats really works for me: Cathy, from Robert Vasicek (homepage: http://www.mtg.sk/rva/) It works great under Linux (not really, but I use wine to run it) & of course on WinXP. I hope you’ll find it very useful!!

I also use Telico. I have a large collection of images and video I must be able to find quickly for my work. I keep them on CD and DVD. Telico makes quick work of it.

tellico is what I use. I even created custom collection of any kind. Pretty easy to use too.

I can’t vouch for the programs talked about in the article, but I do use Tellico.
I have found it to be very easy to use with lots of options depending on what you are cataloging.
