  • Artist
  • Album
  • Format
  • Label / catalog number
  • Country / year
  • Website Slug
Library bridge

Rip Status

Track whether each disc is already ripped, needs AccurateRip verification, or should be compared against an existing FLAC folder.

  • Ripped
  • Needs rip
  • Verify rip
  • Duplicate digital copy
Edition notes

Mastering

CD value often hides in the details: early pressings, target discs, MFSL, DCC, SACD, HDCD, remasters, box sets, and bonus-disc editions.

  • Original issue
  • Remaster
  • Special edition
  • Box set / multi-disc

Filters

Search and quick filters are active now, so the catalog can grow in batches without becoming a wall of unsorted cases.

  • All CDs
  • Needs entry
  • Rip check
  • Keep
  • Special editions
Source of truth: create or connect a Bills_CD_Catalog sheet when the first real batch is ready. Each CD should use one row, a Website Slug, consistent edition fields, and a rip-status value that can be checked against the digital music library.
