There is an excellent drive cataloging application called CDFinder which
creates a database of every item on whatever sort of drive you ask it to
catalog. It even has a new little subroutine which will catalog the item
and eject it when the task is complete.
But you can catalog any kind of drive with it.
It is, however, Mac only.

good point :)
Microsoft OS PC's have such an option with programs called Print Directrory
or somesuch, or the feature can be added for free by using Miscosoft Fix It
free here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379 - though this sends the
file to a printer it can be reconfigured to produce a text file.
I have used DirPrint or Karen's Directory Printer for a long time and
consider them one of those nice to have 'essential programs'. They simply
produce a log of all the files or folders or both within a directory, with
options and filters to select the depth and breadth of the directory
structure listed, size, date of creation, date of modifiation etc. The MS
product is much more basic.
Better are these, and I like the feature that allows diectoryy listing
recording of devices and PCs on the network:
