This program is awesome for cataloging your media collections. The new version comes with a Dashboard Widget for quick access. You can use your iSight camera as a barcode scanner for entering pieces into the library.

Well worth the price.

Only vaguely related…

I’m so over Dashboard… took me about a week to really get sick of it… Aim for F11, hit F12 by mistake.  Installed Dashboard Killer…

I’m a big fan of “Clutter” for use in conjunction with iTunes… drag the album cover onto the desktop… it’s just like my REAL desk which is covered with DVDs and CDs....

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Delicious Library and expect to purchase a copy at some point in the near future to keep track of my books, DVDs and music. One thing I’m curious about is how I can use this data and post it on the web.

Currently I have a movie database of my own concoction on my website to track what movies I have. Is there a way to export data in Delicious Library? And if so, how likely is it that this data can be put on a website?

DL is a rockin’ program. Mike Matas (and Co.) did a rockin’ job. I started off with just demo, but the sheer awesomeness of this program made me purchase it. totally worth it. I have over 160 DVDs and I lend them out to my friends often. DL has helped me keep track of my movies since some of my friends are “long-term” borrowers.

Delicious Library really is a great application.

There are also some other apps that can increase the functionality. see here

Delicious Library is incredible. Having followed it from pretty close to the beginning of the app it has gone from amazing to phenomenal with each new version. I expect many great things to come from Delicious Monster, even though Mike Matas has moved to work at Apple.

The graphics are also incredible on delicious library, I was completely shocked about how great it is.

I have to say the same, i love DL...I currently have 300 DVD’s in there and its great to keep track of who has them.  The widget is nice too cause it can be a little slow to load.  The one thing i am missing is an HTML export or some kind of tie into .mac so it can make a page wiht your movies...actually a tie in with .mac would be really cool cause then your friends could “check out” movies online and you could get an email or something. would you think a feature like that would be cool?

I don’t think the widget is that great, but otherwise it’s a great program. How many people would actually use .mac integration?

I think .mac intergration with apps is one of those features that isn’t there yet...i think that if a lot of apps started to back up there data files there, then people would want to get .mac, you know?

Wow!  I had never heard of it before.  Seems like a very reasonable price for everything it does.

As you said

companies are already coming out and supporting Backup 3.0 Delicious Library already has a component this morning released to do back!!

I think that it’s great that there is now a backup 3.0 component for DL. Maybe other companies will do the same.

Delicious Library is the perfect example of a Mac application. Such joy to use, incredible connection to its users, and such a innovative solution to an “already been done” marketplace.

Its too bad that Apple poached their UI designer. I’ve love to see how the talented guy developed outside of Apple.

Frozonecold, i guess i am just able to predict the future grin but it looks like the API is pretty easy for developers to pickup and write backup plans...i guess we will have to see how many more people go ahead and do it.  My ope is that more and more will.

I do think that there still isn’t enough control over what can be backed up because its a check box to backup the programs data, but developers could always write 2-3 backup plans that backup different files…

Didn’t one of the makers of DL recently get hired by Apple?
