The easiest way to begin an archive using either Excel (Microsoft Office) or Works spreadsheet is to start at the top of the page and in the Column A; Row 1 box type "Artist." In column B type "Album Title" in column C type "Year" (for the year the CD came out) and column D type "Favorite/Hit Song" as a way to help remember which CD a certain song is on. If you wish you can also write which record label it the CD was released by. Should something happen to the CD you own, all this info will be useful to help you purchase a new copy, especially if the CD ever goes out-of-print. If you choose to add the label into the database, simply type "Label" in column E.
