File catalogue?

I was looking to catalogue the Cds I've burned, a program that will make a list of file names on a Cd. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you only need a list of file names, why don't use DOS?

1. Put the CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Go to START -> Run and type "cmd.exe"; the Command Prompt window will appear.
3. In that window, change the drive letter to your CD-ROM drive and type:

dir > C:\list.txt

and hit ENTER.

You can also type "dir > C:\list.txt /b" if you don't need the file sizes, dates and other stuff in your list.

Hope this helps.

Good answer.
It's the quickest easiest way.
Add a /w to the command and it will give a wide screen instead of listing down the page. Good if there are tons of files.

If you're looking for something with a little more depth, Norm and Downhill pointed me towards this program:
