CD databases

Hello!

I have quite a large collection of CDs. And I really need a database
for their contents (lots of backups and archives too).

In my Windoze days I used to use an app called DiskBase. Now, as my
system is windoze-free I have nothing similar.

I found GTKtalog, which seems great. But it has a serious design flaw -
it loads everything in the memory. This makes it both slow, and even on
my system unusable. I have 256M of RAM and even that is not enough and
the app crashes (it seems like out of memory) before getting to 60 CDs.

My system isn't that fast - a K6-2@300Mhz so I'm looking for something
that is fast as well. But at least it should be usable.

Can you help me with some pointers? Should know VFS, as I need it to
"look" inside archives as well.

I also had on Windoze another app like this one but it was specialised
on music - kept the tags, the filenames and the track lenghts as well as
various data about encoding (like the bitrate). It is called MAC and
there is no Linux port in the near future as well. This app can produce
even nice reports and sort the data based on the originating CD, author
or Album name.

In this case... the same problem - do you know anything like that in the
Linux world?

Finally, in case nothing works, do you know some really fast database
(I'd preffer text only, not some full blown SQL server as I'll need it
only to store text information) ? Something that has a lib for C, or
some perl or python connectivity so I can develop my own app...

Thanks in advance...
Raider
