Inventory the easy way - Delicious Library
It took only 1 hour to import our DVD and CD library (169, 191 respectively) into Delicious Library, a great and easy to use Apple app. It makes the job of importing items by scaning the item’s barcode using the iSight camera then looking up the item in Amazon, pulling in tons of data on the item. I found it faster to use my camcorder connected via firewire because it did a better job focusing on the various barcode sizes. I’ve never noticed how small some of the barcodes are. Some of our music CDs are sooo old they don’t have barcodes. Remember back in the day, when you bought something and it had to have a price tag or label? You know, those pre-barcode days. Some people may be too young to know what I’m talking about.
Our collection of items can be viewed as shelves or lists.
