For all you want to do you don't really need an organiser. You can put the details onto a spreadsheet like Excell and that would be fully searchable. Fortunately it can import txt files and add the lines as individual records.
Obviously I don't know how your text files are set up. However if you have used a tab delimiter it is a piece of piss. Simply select file/open and change the type to .txt file, follow the wizard, using the tab delimited options and Bob's your Auntie. You can then organise the data by any field you want.
If you have used spaces, or something else, it can still be done but it might be more difficult (but not a lot)
For this number of records a spreadsheet is OK. I have used them for up to 64,000 records, each containing 4 fields and it worked a treat.
If you wish you could use a relational database, but that works in an entirely different way. You could tailor make one in Access, or indeed there will already be a wizard / template which will do it.
Why am I suggesting MS products. Simple, they will definitely import Notepad txt files.
Good Luck
Cheers

Well, I downloaded a free program last night called movie organizer. They may have a music organizer too. Also there is something called music collector. I know there is a crack for the collector, but the organizer is probably free. And the nice thing about the movie organizer is you enter the name of the title and you can click a button to get the actors, director, length and etc. I am sure the music version is the same. In the organizer, there is a field for movie #, where I could enter that one and correspond with the movie number if I labeled them by number. You may want to check for the music organizer. If not, try the music collector, just do a google search for it. And find a crack for it on google too.

Like Jims says is true. You can import as delimited or fixed with. Then, it can be brought into either Excel or Access. Surely Access is far better, because you can print reports on the music depending on the genre's or whatever as long as you enter the genres into Access. The text fields will have to be seperated by something, like tab or comma.

Sounds like you should give WhereIsIt a try. I have all of my cdr/rw:s in a wii db. Just put the cd in the drive and import it in the program. Dunno about the newer verison of it, I am still using 2.18
Go and have a look and see if it is what you need http://www.whereisit-soft.com

Hmmmm.... If you have all your lists in Notepad then why not
just click on start... then search or find and then click on files and folders.....
then just type the song or album you are looking for in the second box
that says "containing text".
Easy right ?
