i found an even better tool:
"Cathy"
http://www.mtg.sk/rva/
here a copy and paste of what it says on the guys' site:

An extremly small, very fast and easy to use media cataloging tool. You can use it to index files stored on removable media (CD's, DVD's or even diskettes), hard disks or net drives, and create searchable catalogs that can be used without having access to original media. Searching capabilities are based on file name, date and size. Additional features include filtering options, search duplicates or singles, customizable date format, etc. Found files can be opened (executed) or deleted directly, if they are present. Drag&drop support. Directory trees, MP3 album/song lists can be printed, disk space usage can be investigated. Single file executable, no install needed.
Version 2.28.2, 47 kB.
Version 2.25 translated to French by Colok & the brief French guide
Version 2.25 translated to Spanish by Willy Walker & the brief Spanish guide
Detailed user's guide in English (2.24)
Detailed user's guide in Polish (2.24)(thanks to Studio Arte)
Detailed user's guide in Slovak language (2.23)

Some user opinions :-)

I'm sorry, but the translations remain at version 2.20.4, because it would cost me too much time to upgrade them according to the current english version. For the same reason I support no more translations. (Cathy wasn't designed as multilanguage application.)
