@johndb , To create a Mac virtual machine on Windows, there’s VirtualBox (the best-known option); I’ve never used it; I think it’s a bit tricky to install; you can find tutorials online. (I see some, but they’re in French—there must be similar ones in English.)

I understand that it is possible to run Apple software in a emulator on a Windows pc. I have no idea how easy or acceptable this might be or what the probelms might be for running CDpedia this way. Comments please!

@johndb , I don't know of any for Windows, (but for Mac, there's CDpedia ; probably what you were looking for) Sorry

I use and value Filmotech - I use it to keep an inventory of my movies. Input is fast and it is simple to use, with links to many international information sources on films, although I have yet to write a report script. Other collection database movie app's are more complicated because they do more e.g. ripping or other collection types. I am looking for a free or inexpensive, fast, Windows, simple CD music equivalent of Filmotech. Here again many apps do more than I want e.g. buying and selling and so are more complicated. Of course there is discogs, which is fairly simple to use for just keeping an inventory. Possibly there is Koingo's Librarian Pro 8. Again I want simplicity, input to be fast, and an international set of information sources, as well as coverage of different types of music. Any suggestions?
