How do you keep track of your audio / book / misc. purchases?

I felt like I asked something similar before but based on a search, it was related to the tracking of games.

Thread 'Do you keep track of the games you play, and how?'

I think most here probably use VNDB to track the games played, and maybe some also use KoiLog to track otome games, or Backloggd for games in general, or some other tracking sites, or a combination of sites and excel.

On my end, I do use VNDB as well, but since I also track non-visual novels and want greater control over what I track, I also use google sheets to keep track of some things including:

I am still in big disarray when it comes to my collection.

For (Art)Books/Manga/Magazines/LightNovels, etc I am using Calibre and slowly sorting out the entire collection (idk how, but I got over 7k e-pubs T-T).

For the Games spreadsheet + vndb seems to be enough for now

Audio is a black hole for now. I have one very cool app to try; however, most of my audio collection is not well kept (missing metadata, incorrect names), so any sorting will require manual labour (esp for only physical rips).

Love your new tracker!
