Cdcat

Cdcat is an open source, QT-based, cross-platform (Linux/Windows) catalog program that scans the directories/drives you want and can memorize the filesystem, including the tags of mp3's, and store it in a small file.

The database is stored in a gzipped XML format, so you can hack it, or use it if necessary.
