Updated!

I've smartened up a bit and now eport everything to excel where I sort it and so there's little difference to me in the time it takes to enter 50 reviews vs. 500.

The only thing that really takes extra time is sorting bands that start with "the", example The Beatles. The system I've made would sort The Beatles as "Beatles, The" so that The Beatles are actually under B. But if I autosort "The Beatles", they end up in the list of bands starting with the letter T. Thus, I have to rename every entry where a band name starts with "The". Usually, I don't notice they're there until I get to the letter T and so then I have to go back to previous letters and do them over again.

I prefer sorting it this way even if it does produce the occasionally odd result (ex. The band "The The" is sorted as "The, The").

^ I´m super-impressed with your thoroughness, tore ! You´ve obviously realised that the value of an index like this lies in how completely and consistently it is undertaken. Well done!

Like a lot of MBers, I don´t use this resource as much as I should, but am hoping to change that, and explore some of the entries that you´ve listed here - a mind-boggling quantity of information, tbh.
