I don't own the any of the DVDs, but here are two sites I really find helpful:
1) Scrubs Show Guide on TV.com
For each episode you can find the featured music list in the "Notes" section for that episode.

2) Scrubs Music and Songs at TuneFind.com
Not that pretty at all, but it works.


I cannot tell exactly how accurate these are, but it served me well when I wanted to find a few songs.
Maybe you could find an active Scrubs fansite and ask the people there. If it's a good site it probably has a forum board dedicated to the show's soundtrack.


Good Luck :)
