Hyper's CdCatalog (cdcat)

Current version: 2.3.1 (Unicode Qt4, 09/29/2013, r655)

Description:

The cdcat is graphical (QT based) multiplatform (Linux / Windows / MacOS/X / OS/2) catalog program which scans the directories/drives you want and memoryze the filesystem (including the tags of mp3's) and store it in a small file. The used license is GPL. The database is stored in a gzipped XML format, so you can hack it, or use it if necessary :-)

Cdcat can store the content of some specified files up to a size limit if you want. (for example: *.nfo)
