Ok, after messing with Numbers spreadsheets and Google Docs, I finally found Composer Catalog and immediately knew this was what I needed. Great database for keeping songs and their administration organized.

I think I may have to bite the bullet. It's been almost a year and I just now got all of my tracks organized in folders and in iTunes. The longer I wait, the more pain it will be to input everything.

So far, I find it well worth it. Easily enter all the metadata, composers and publishers, where and if a track is signed, and even attach the audio for it.
I still keep a spreadsheet to keep track of Taxi submissions, forwards, returns, etc., but this is great for keeping the catalog organized.

As you probably know, Composer Catalog was developed by Keith LuBrant, a very successful TAXI member.
Getting this up and running early in the catalog building process will really pay off down the road. I am in the process of entering the data on over 1200 cues registered in my BMI account. I may be done by the Rally in 2025!!
Thanks Keith for a great tool. (I just wish I had it seven or eight years ago

)

Yikes, Chuck! Yeah, that's gonna take some time! Ah well, at least you're started!
Btw, I love your Duke Ellington quote in your sig line.

+1 for Composer Catalog. I got a few months ago. I wish it was around when I first started pitching to film and TV cause it took me a few days to upload all my information for over 350 tracks, but glad I got it now. It's super handy.

Methinks I'll have to get this. The googledocs and Excel spreadsheets are cumbersome.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!
I am currently working on a data export feature. This will allow you to get data out via CSV file.
It will be a free update.
Thanks again!
Keith
