All of this sorting, catagorizing, and labeling of titles and styles in computers sounds great! I have certainly thought about doing the same and am now inspired to follow your leads eventually.
This thread is now printed out for future reference like so many other great ideas that are available here at the SZ forum.
I've just received a Music Pad Pro Plus in which to load many 3 ring binders filled to overflowing with music all in Alpha order. The two CD's are loaded into my computer and some of the "Users Manual" is printed out. Planning ahead to doing what you have described herein seems rather far down the road right now. The MPP+ seems a long term and daunting task!
The Word and Excel programs you describe as useful are unknowns to me. I do know they are computer programs and I intend to look into their structures and go from there with the catagorizing of music as I am able.
I do not have Fred's program beyond the introductory download. That it might be beneficial as well seems likely, but I wonder if in view of the possibility of the Excel and Word programs, it too would be equally useful? Opinions?
JOAN... Some time ago along with an SD of your music you sent a hard copy listing of the music on the SD card. Is that list from Fred's program or possibly from the Excel or another program? It is very useful as I work with your music.
At this point I have nothing to contribute to this thread beyond my appreciation and thanks to all of you who have contributed.
Thank you so much.
