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

[Stephen Davies]

        I like the idea of breaking the grouping fields into medium, 
recording & composition.  I also like the idea of using MS-Access to 
create the database.  However, I'm not brave enough to venture into 
Access, which I believe is more complicated than it needs to be.
        Does anyone photograph their records, for insurance purposes or 
otherwise?
        Does anyone have an opinion about Tom Lord's Jazz discography 
online?  It looks to me to be the same as the CD-ROM version, only updated 
more often.  Does it allow for personal entries, like my homemade MP3 of 
such-and-such, or does it only recognize commercial releases?  I see that 
it is fed by the jazz labels, and I have the fear that that may compromise 
the usability of the database.
