[78-L] Cataloguing software, and necessary data fields

[Stephen Davies]

Folks,
        can anyone recommend a good cataloguing software for my record 
collection?
        Now that I've passed #200 in my acquisition of 78's (total worth 
approx. $15, I suppose), and as I speculate on getting a home computer to 
dub and clean up the sound, it's time to think of something better than 
the MS-Excel spreadsheet that I've been using to record my holdings. 
        I don't want to use an online service, but I'm interested in 
knowing if anyone subscribes to one for this purpose, and what they think 
of it.
        Which data fields are required for entry for each side?  Here's my 
guess:

Personal inventory # * Artist * Song title * Composer / Lyricist * Mx# * 
Label * Label # * Recording date * Release date ??? * Condition * Notes (a 
catch all field) *
