#Delicious library software software#
Not being able to scan in your boxed PC/Mac software is inexcusable. That wasn’t a problem since I only own a dozen games, but it would be nice if searching in places other than Amazon was built into the software. Game covers as provided by Amazon are often incorrect or missing, so I kept pulling them manually from GameFly. I was let sorely let down on all accounts. I was expecting a “whip crack†when I scanned Indiana Jones, an “Adrian!†when I scanned Rocky, and an “Engage!†for Star Trek. The only things I owned that triggered them were Star Wars items, but the developer says there are more Easter eggs to be found. The developer included a great Easter egg in the software, fun sound clips that play after scanning certain products. Hearing the barcode scanner sound effect is a great touch. To my surprise my old Veo Stringray worked perfectly the majority of the time, and when it didn’t I just typed in the UPC or title manually. I went with the webcam method, seeing as I have been wanting an excuse to plug mine in for some time. In fact if you have an old USB CueCat laying around you can modify it to work with Delicious Library in under a minute. Finally, you can also use a USB barcode scanner. It connects via Bluetooth, works up to 50 feet away from your Mac, and can store up to 500 unique barcodes if you’re out of range. The seemingly coolest, yet most expensive way scan your content would be to order their Flic® Wireless Laser Barcode Scanner (US $174.95 and only available while buying a license). A more interesting way would be to set up your iSight or webcam and hold the product’s barcode in front of it. The fastest, but probably the most boring way of going about it would be to type out the UPC or title of your product. This process can be more enjoyable than you might think, as Delicious Library offers you several ways of scanning in your media. Delicious Library manages what you have, keeps track of where it is, makes recommendations for new content, and looks cool in the process.ĭepending on how much content you have, it can take quite some time to get your entire library scanned. Then there are always those friends borrowing your stuff though you know neither of you will remember who has it and if they gave it back.
Whether it be music, movies, games, or books you probably have a couple shelves of boxes and discs scattered throughout pouches. Chances are that if you’re an Apple fan, you’re also heavily into some form of media.
