This is more of a general question rather than a Mac specific one, but I didn't know where else to post it.

Does anyone know of a website or online services that allows the saving of files names but not actual files? For example, if I wanted to save the names of songs on iTunes on a website without actually saving the files, is this possible? I'm asking because I have a large collection of films, music and websites stored on my computer and I don't necessarily want to to save the files, only the names and titles of the files to keep as reference should something go wrong. This would also have to be a automatic process as it would take to long to enter manually.

Thanks,
Alex.
