Delicious Library

Want to be able to peruse your media collection with a click of the mouse? Delicious Library is a MacOSX program that allows you to create a digital archive of your entire media collection. We ditched our jewel cases about a year ago and can appreciate the need for knowing where something is stored. For our small DVD collection, however, this is a bit of an overkill. However, if you need to know where things are, this could be a great way to organize things.

We tried it out with a few new CDs we have recently brought into the house, and it wowed us. With a simple scan of the UPC, it enters everything you would want to know in a single glance. If you own a Mac, and are looking to catalog your collection (especially if you are going to toss all of your cases), we highly recommend this.

There are many other cool features, including your own virtual library where you can marked items as checked out (to friends and family), and be reminded when they've had things awhile. Head on over and download a trial copy to discover all that it can do.

Available here for $40.

I've been using this app since it came out. Now that I have a built-in iSight in my 24" iMac I've been using it more often. I use it for books as well as music. Also you can import items that you might not find on the internet (art?) by hand . Very cool.

I've also been using this for some time, and have my DVD collection and games console collection in here. It has that fantastic "borrowers and lenders" feature that I use to flag who I have lent what too, which is very handy for tracking my DS games and movie boxsets!

This might actually allow me to let go of the CD collection. Maybe.
