Complete collections lists
I need a spreadsheet like that! Is it possible to convert it to Open Office (I'm guessing you use Excel) and send me the template?nightsblood wrote:I have mine in a spreadsheet that I update as i get new stuff. Not a very big collection, but it helps when it comes to tape-trading.... of course, hardly anyone trades anymore
Spreadsheet data I keep:
artist, country, title, year of release, subgenre, date I got it, format(s) I own it on, whether or not I have a digital copy (for u/l-burning), value, content comments, grade (how much I like it)
yeah, I'm a bit anal retentive

Maybe, I'll look into it and find out. I do use excel but my wife wants to d/l Open Office. Once we check it out I'll see if I can make it work for youKhnud wrote:I need a spreadsheet like that!

Hmm, I let that situation go on for 2 more years and then finally this summer I made a completely new list. Took me a few evenings to go through around 1500 items but in the end it's just so easy when you have a list.humus wrote:I keep an excel file, it was quite complete concerning my originals. Untill I had a hard disk crash last week and I lost all the information I added in the last 5 months.
Just basic information though: band - title - special remarks and different formats in different files.
No more copies or dubbed material listed as I stopped (tape)trading anyway.
Come to think of it, Open Office should be able to import/read Excel-files straight off the bat. So no converting needed on your part!nightsblood wrote:Maybe, I'll look into it and find out.

I use ASCII-txt file with TABs. Pretty old-school if you ask me, but it works

CDaRse means a CD-R copy cause I don't have the original version in my collection. Looking for the original CD in most cases.Korgüll wrote:Peter, why do some of your descriptions say CDarse & CDshit?
Promo CDshit means I only have a Promo of the CD, not the original one and I am also looking for an original version of the CD in most cases too.
Wasn't intended to offend any band
If there is only CDr written, then it is really a CDr release. Maybe I should make a "legend" for explaining all that stuff, hehee...but the list is in first place mainly for myself so...Korgüll wrote:I thought that may be the case, but then you also have others listed as CDr so I wasn't sure?peterott wrote:CDaRse means a CD-R copy

I started making a list for insurance purposes and kind of kept on it. My insurance company would not insure me without some kind of list. Decided to just throw it on a site and also use it to trade away or sell all my doubles. Don't have much left to trade anymore (so it worked)... I update the list frequently, but I always forget things or I am too lazy to put complete details. I wanted to do cd's too, because unfortunately I bought a lot of cd's in the early 90's but don't want to bother anymore.
My modest LP collection is here:

I've been wanting to throw up a list or two online for various reasons, but am completely illiterate when it comes to html and website design because I skipped nearly every PC class I ever took in High School. I really like the general layout of rom's site though.
