Ron:  You can use just about any general-purpose database program to do 
this, but you'll have to do some work setting up the initial record.  
There are several PC programs that are especially designed for cataloging 
home libraries, but I don't know Macs well enough to be sure what's 
there.  If you have Soft PC I would recommend PC-Card Catalog Pro, and 
could send details.
