Take a look at this one. I don't have any experience with it though.

I bought and started using the Collectorz that Dj posted.
I had my collection in MS Excel, and I imported that into Music Collectorz. I have about 1,000 CDs/LPs. Once they're in, they don't have any info attached (song list, cover art, release date, etc.) but at this point you can avoid buying duplicates. From there I hit the "Update Automatically" and it updates automatically...sort of. It goes and searches the internet for a match, and you need to individually select the best match (usually the first one on the list so you just hit "Update"). Time consuming, probably about 30 seconds per album give or take.
If you don't have a list to start with, you can put the disc into your computer's CD drive and it will read it, or buy a bar code reader and scan. I haven't done either.
Once it's in Collectorz you can easily (and quickly) dump to your iPhone. Nice.
$50 for the computer (Pro Version) and $10 for the iPod.
I have my collection cataloged in Excel, and I have the physical discs that I play out of the package and in CD binders so I never know what songs are on the discs (some are listed on the discs, some not). This allows me to see the songs on the disc on my phone as well as having the list to avoid buying something I already have.
