Any suggestions for a good MP3 organizer??

I would like to scan about 50 cd's with MP3's on them and export them into an excel spread sheet so I can keep track of the songs I have and there locations.

Something simple that is.

.mp3Database (http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s973431/meesoft/mp3database/) FREE, The .mp3Database is an application designed to handle all the mp3-files, you have gathered. It will scan a file for an ID3-tag and use the information in the tag to add the file to the database. CSV-format: writes databases in csv-format (for Excel interchange) NOTE: program exported the CSV with a semi-colon not a comma, so you may have to open the exported file in wordpad, do a REPLACE ALL on the ";" with "," to make it import properly into Excel.
