Some years ago, I built a Paradox table of my Victor records. I listed them by catalogue number. The second column is the two titles, the third, the artist(s). Listing them by artist might have been a better setup, but listing by catalogue number has been good for my purpose.
There will ultimately be one for Columbia, then Brunswick, Vocalion, etc. The major toil in this is the Victor listings for me. There are other databases that replace Paradox, but diong it again; I'd list the records the same way on any other program. > [Original Message] > From: Andrew Baron <a...@popyrus.com> > To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l@oldcrank.org> > Date: 12/13/2010 12:38:57 PM > Subject: [Phono-L] Cataloguing records > > Are you using a particular software that's geared for cataloguing, or > standard applications like Word or Excel? > > I think this may have been discussed on this forum before, but perhaps > there are current favorite methods. > > Andy > > > On Dec 13, 2010, at 10:00 AM, Dennis Back wrote: > > >>>>> But I had to stop bidding on record auctions because I kept > >>>>> winning the same records over and over again.
