[X4U] Music CD catalog app

There's a very nice fast and simple utility that will list your CDs 
along with the tracks on each (but no metadata, if that's what you 
want). It's called "CDFinder" and you can download it at:

There are others like it, such as DiskCatalogMaker, DiskLibrary, and 
DiskTracker, but I like CDFinder mainly because it automatically 
looks up your CD in the online database and enters the track names.
