SearchMyDiscs

If you have a pile or CDs or DVDs and need to organize them, 10-Strike Software' s $30 SearchMyDiscs 3.0 is worth a look. The program scans your discs, catalogs the content into an easy-to-use database, and then lets you search or browse for particular files, songs, or videos.

For example, if you're looking for a recent archive of files, you could enter, say, the archive date, and the program could display which disc has the files. (It also helps if you label and organize the actual discs.) You can search on a variety of parameters, including file name, file type, and it accepts wildcard characters. SearchMyDiscs also includes a clever lending library feature that let's keep track of who you've lent discs to.

The developer offers a free, but very skimpy, 30-day download. This trial version only allows you to scan up to 3 discs, so you'll get an idea of whether you like the program, but you won't be able to clean up that pile of discs lying behind your desk.
