Anime management client

[Slysoft]

Hey, I've got quite a few hard drives full of anime and it gets annoying sometimes trying to remember where something is saved. I've been looking for a clean and simple program that would simply let me add the files into a sortable list and open them in MPC; something like foobar2000 only for video. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Why not organize the files on the hard drives instead of adding additional complexity?    For example, three drives can store anime series whose names begin with the letters A to H, I to R, and S to Z and numbers.

If you're dealing with externals, you can use these two programs in combination;

Karen's Directory Printer
--Use it to save a textfile(.txt) of the contents of a drive.
--One textfile you leave on the drive, and one copy of it to a dedicated folder on your pc.
--It is highly advisable you give the textfile same name as the drive. ...and the drive a sticker with that name (depends on how many externals you joggle with...)

grepWin
--Use this to search the contents of the textfiles in that dedicated folder.

As someone with ~40T stored on externals (backups not included) I can vouch this works. AnimeJanai's advice above is good for any reasonable amount, but I've long since given up trying to organize those on the hard level...

I just organize them in folders. I have folders for what they are (manga, anime TV, OVAs, Movies) then further into A-j and so on. It works pretty well.

Tried AniDB's client?

I simply use Windows search and have all my drives indexed. Or I download it again without bothering to check since it is so fast now a days.
