I was using previously DiscPlay 4.1 (by Matt Jensen / Obvion Systems) for cataloguing my CDs but then DiscPlay has been acquired by another company who finally abandoned the developement. It was almost 10 years ago.

Just recently I have transfered my DiscPlay CD collection, including lyrics, to OrangeCD using gawk and sed scripting/text processing utilities (available for free at gnuwin32.sourceforge.net (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html)). Comma separated text files can be processed by both utilities to convert your collection to the required import format.

You can import .xml files (CATraxx and Music Collector) or Windows CDPlayer .ini files. Unfortunately OrangeCD does not allow importing its own .oxl files. I found OCD XML very clear and self-explanatory. Instead I had to use the .xml formats of competitors - CATraxx to be specific.

If you want to transfer just the basic information (album and track titles), then CDPlayer.ini format will do. Otherwise you need to create an .xml file.
