LP Cataloging Software?

Does anyone know of an automated or semi-automated software program for cataloging LP's? There are a few out there for CD's and I know of one called Maestro Manager for classical LP's but nothing for popular/jazz/rock/bluegrass/etc/ LP's. By automated, I mean that it works by linking to an on-line database where titles, song lists, times, dates, and such can be automatically downloaded and then the user can add to fields such as condition, buying price,location, etc.

I have quite a number in a dBase file but it takes forever to manually enter everything. The CD program works like a champ but the CD's and LP's generally differ with respect to song order, icluded songs, release dates and such.

I would be obliged if someone can steer me towards such a program.

Jnewl,

I haven't heard of CD Trustee Professional, but I did try Kix Music Catalog, Catraxx and Collectorz Music Collector. IMHO they all suck; at least for LPs. The online music search catalogs simply take too long - there are either too many choices or what you have is not listed. I think that it's easier to just enter the data yourself.

In the end it was faster to simply setup my own Excel template. I don't have little pictures of the LP covers, but that could be easily added if cared about that (I don't). When I'm in the mood I can enter about 100 LPs at a time before I start seeing crosseyed. So for 10K LPs this will be a serious endeavor.
