Cataloguing My Prog Collection

It took me about four hours in total to list my entire prog collection, but the time passed really quickly listening to Rick Wakeman at the same time, and I came across several artists who I didn't realise were listed on ProgArchives, so it was time well spent.

I have some classical music CDs not on the site, and the rules are really complex for those, so I haven't attempted them. Plus a stack of CDs I bought from the old independent artists site mp3.com (ca. late 1990s through about 2003). These artists are hard to add because they haven't had a web presence in years and I have to try to hunt them down on old web pages stored in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

I haven't even touched the vinyl stuff, though I sold off the bulk of that years ago.
