It’s been a while since I gushed fanboy-style about something related to Macs and Apple. This should make up for that.
I just finally sprung for the $20 upgrade to Delicious Library 2. Delicious Library has always been one of my favorite apps for the Mac. It was one of those apps that you pull out just to demo to your PC Friends so they can drool and wish they had Macs. In a nutshell, it uses the built-in iSight camera to scan UPCs off your media items and catalog them. It doesn’t stop there, though, it also pulls GOBS of data from online sources about your items (including synopses, ratings–i.e. the “star” kind–used value, and much more. DL2 came out a few months ago, but I just hadn’t bothered to upgrade yet. Today, I decided to scan a few items I’d acquired in the last couple months and said, what the heck, let’s upgrade.
Well, in version two, they added an awesome way to publish your whole library for the world. You can publish via a variety of avenues (I’m using FTP) and it creates a whole “website” for your media catalog! So, don’t laugh too much at my tastes and remember that a lot of this belongs to my wife and my 3 year-old. Also, I didn’t spend any time cleaning up the iTunes stuff–it automatically pulled out a lot of “junk” that’s been hanging around in my iTunes Library for a long time. I’ll get around to cleaning it up eventually. I also need to spend some serious time scanning books since I have a LOT of those to get in my library!
