There’s a lot of neat software out there for Apple computers. The latest one I found (and the one I’m having the most fun with at the moment) is Delicious Library.

Delicious Library - catalog software for all your books, movies, music, and video games.

Delicious Library allows you to catalog all your books, music, movies, and video games. Simply enter the item into the Library and it will automatically pull all sorts of details from Amazon (such as release date, author, actors, MSRP, images, etc.) and attach it to your item in your library. You can rate your items and attach notes and keywords. Since I like to keep databases and catalogs, this was a great piece of software for me (also because I have a lot of movies and music). Now, why I think this program is so cool is not the fact that it automatically gets item details from Amazon, it’s the fact that to enter items into your library, you simply use the iSight camera and scan the barcodes.

Scan items into your library with an iSight camera.

Isn’t that cool?? In less than 5 minutes, I was able to scan over 35 items into my library. And if you come across a certain item in your library that isn’t scanning, you can manually input the ISBN and it works just the same. Other features including syncing your library onto your iPod, printing out your catalog, and keeping track of what items your friends have currently borrowed.

Delicious Library is available as shareware and the full version is only $40. Who knew scanning barcodes could be this fun?
