How do I create/catalog a soundtrack?
While listening to some songs, I'm often struck by how perfect they would be accompanying a scene in a movie/play/whatever. This has happened many many times and I would like to start making a list of these songs and scenes.
For example, I feel that Benny Goodman's version of Sing, Sing, Sing would be awesome playing in the background during a chase scene or a high-energy montage. I write this down. After a couple more of these thoughts I'm left with a messy list of songs and potential scenes.
Are there standard tools to organize this list? Is Excel the answer? Somehow a searchable list of tags?

This thread is closed to new comments.
I add what I think about the song and make the comments viewable on the default view. This also makes them searchable so if I need some chase music, I can just search for "chase ."
Not the best solution because I'm a Winamp guy myself, but it seems to have been working better than the random Post-It method.
