I sent Zero some of my wishies, this was one of them, so he knows.

I suggest these atributes to Item in catalog - category (linux, mp3,...), flag 
(damaged, personal) and location (home, red pen, girlfriend's brother). 
Together with them next thing, that will allow tree-like view to database - so 
i might not have only one big (and over 200CD's is big, trust me :) root tree, 
but more these. It is not same as category - Jimmi Hendrix and Jan Hammer ar 
both mp3 (or audio) CDs, but they belong to another category - different music 
types. I can solve it by having music-techno, music-celtic,... category or put 
them in another tree.

Example of this:

root
*
* music  * celtic *
*          *        * Enya - May it Be (category: mp3; flags: poor-quality, 
damagen; location: home)
*          *        *         - Shadow of the Moon (category: audio; flags: 
excelent ; location: girlfriend)
*          *        *
*          *        * Mike Oldfield - Tubular 1 (category: audio; flags: 
do-not-give-away; location: hostel)
*          *                          - Tubular 2 (category: audio; flags: 
do-not-give-away; location: hostel)
*          * trance - ps{}trance-cd1 (category: mp3; flags: mix; location: 
thomas)
*                      - ps{}trance-cd2 (category: mp3; flags: mix; location: 
thomas)
* linux * mandrake - mdk9.1-cd1 (category: linux; flags: iso; location: 
installfest)
         *                - mdk9.1-cd2 (category: linux; flags: iso; location: 
installfest)
         *                - mdk9.1-cd3 (category: linux; flags: iso; location: 
installfest)
         * slackware - slackware-9.0-current (category: linux; flags: 
my-own-made, life-love; location: bed)

This way, I have stored all important informations and still se only about 10 
categories until I "open" them. For example, look at WhereIsIt software for 
win32.
I know that groups music, linux are almost same as category (mp3, linux), but 
when you have loot of CDs, you will use them. Until then, you can checkbox that 
category should by same as group.

The tree-like view might be implemented trought another filetype, that will 
only save names of catalogs (like there are now) itselfs and open all of them 
in tree view. But including flags and locations will still change fileformat, 
so why not implement trees in them at once ?
