Last week I discovered the coolest program I’ve seen in a long time. It’s called Delicious Library and after downloading the trial version, I immediately forked over the $40 and bought the full deal. Essentially, it’s a catalog program to help keep track of all your music, movies, books and games. You can enter in all your titles by hand or if you are lucky enough to have access to an iSight webcam, you simply scan the barcode and Delicious Library does the rest. Instantly, you’ve got the artwork, full details and even a list of similar titles that you can browse through. Everything is categorized alphabetically and placed on a wooden shelf for you to scroll through and add to later. There’s a slider bar for zooming in on the artwork and if you loan stuff out a lot, you can drag a title to someone’s name in your address book and it will remind you later that you need to get that one CD back from that one dude who still has it. Needless to say, most of my weekend was spent on the living room floor surrounded by CDs, DVDs, PS2 games and what few books I own as I scanned each and every barcode in the entire house. Wanna see some pathetic numbers? 8 games, 17 movies, 39 books and 640 CDs. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that I only own 17 movies or that I cheated and included 12 cookbooks and a Boy Scout handbook in that “books” count.
