webmasters - software to set up catalog?

[housepig]

greetings...

hopefully one of the more web-savvy board members can help.

I'm looking for a good way to set up a catalog on my site, for music I'm selling. the preferred features:

- sort alphabetically by artist or by label
- allows graphics in listings
- easy to install and update
- able to format appearances in the listings globally via css
- free or cheap

from other sites I've looked at, it looks like php can do it - if anyone can recommend a good starter guide, or something precompiled that I can modify, I'd be most grateful.

To me the easiest way...excel spreadsheet or a simple access database file. Then just link it to a query form
