I got it a bit later. It didn't like me trying to apply it in a print
statement but if I assigned it first and the printed it, no issue.

That was my thinking also. I just don't know enough about databases to know
if I should shove the data raw into the DB or do some sorting first.

If I were cataloging hard drives I would tend to agree.  But this is for
removable media and backups so "anything goes", especially since I would
like to GPL it later and noobs will be using it so I can't make assumptions
on their behavior :)   I may stick everything in a sub directory to help
organize it, but using my CD creator program I just tend to drag and drop
them as I see them.

Thanks for the input!
