Being able to scan your books (or CDs) would make the job a lot less tedious, if not quite a rollicking good time. Thanks for the tip. And thanks too for checking out my world-o-publishing blogs...<br /><br />@Roberta: I so know what you mean.

We catalogue a few books, using some of the websites you mentioned, then give up before the job is finished. I think it's the OCD in our personality that desires it, but the ADD takes over and wins out!Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10460319130907473562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165118504093345923.post-70467776380672157962010-03-25T14:14:13.057-07:002010-03-25T14:14:13.057-07:00I've had my eye on Delicious Library for the ...I've had my eye on Delicious Library for the past few years. It's Mac-only software. It is able to:<br />a) add to the catalog by scanning or using the webcam the UPC or by typing in ISBN<br />b) catalog books, music, movies, and more<br />c) export to XML, various text formats, and Excel<br />d) does not export to html, but third-party software can do the job<br /><br />Haven't purchased the software yet. I didn't have a webcam until recently. And I don't have OCD. <br /><br />I have purchased duplicate CDs before (reason 3 on your list to utilize a cataloging software).<br /><br />As I stated before, Delicious Library is Mac-only. It's been out for years. You'd think someone on the Windows side would duplicate the features. I think the ability to add to the catalog by webcam qualifies as a killer feature.<br /><br /><br />PS I've been reading your entries and find your analysis of the publishing world to be very eye-opening.Alfrednoreply@blogger.com
