Disc Cataloger.

Disc Cataloger is based on Short CD/DVD Image - a packed file with unique name containing all storage structure of CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc. You can create this image with the disc name (label) or manually assign a new (friendly) name for each inserted disc. For multisession disc, the Short CD/DVD Image can be created for each recorded session. All images are being placed into a separate directory, assigned under CD/DVD Library tab in the program Preferences. When you insert a disc that has the image created before, CDRoller automatically recognizes this image as a "mirror" of the real CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc, displays it with an appropriate icon in the program window and, further, uses the Short CD/DVD Image to access to any folder quickly, without a real disc reading.
