    I am trying to get somewhat organized and I need a little help in doing so. What I am aiming to do is create a database of all my music but I'm not sure which office suite will best suit my needs. I was hoping that someone a little more experienced w/ the productivity packages that are out there could point me in the right direction. I am a severe audiophile, I collect all genres, and I collaborate as much info, pics, and album art as possible. So I want my database to not be too limited but not too complicated either if you know what I mean. So it's going to be the don-mega of achievements for me to get it all organized. I have very little experience with database's and everytime I try and figure them out it's like pulling teeth. Can someone please suggest a good program or at least give me a little advice, any help is appreciated and again, I thank you for your time.

    Possibly the easiest (and cheapest) thing is to create a spreadsheet - OpenOffice is best, though Excel will work - and catalog your music that way. Save as Comma Separate Value files (.CSV) and you will have a file that's pretty much universal and should work with most databases as wellas spreadsheets.
