Even knowing that I'd probably have to manually enter info for my older lps, it would still be worth it to have a program that helps me keep them cataloged and organized.

Come on, four apps which do nearly the same, that's a laugh.

It also allows us to keep the price low for users who are only interested in one application. (And for those interested in more we offer bundle discounts.)
Having said that though, the Pedia programs do have some integration between them. You can link a Bookpedia book to a DVDpedia movie, for example. Sure, you're using two programs but clicking on the link will take you directly to the other program with the related entry highlighted.
Alternatively, there's also the Amazonpedia widget or Spotlight which allow you to search all your Pedia libraries at once (as well as Amazon with the widget) so you don't have to have all the programs running just to check for an entry.

But I'm still with the original poster -- an all-in-one (or expandable as needed) "Pedia Pro" for a flat price (let's say $40 so it competes directly with Delicious Library) with some bonus features and more polished design would be something I would be interested in.
Again, I do appreciate being able to buy "just what I need" and wouldn't want that option to go away, but it's also true that "media collectors" need a unified way to catalog our stuff, and given that the Pedias *and* DL have found audiences, I think there's room for something from this dev that gives us the best of both.

Also adding a search of the Gracenote CDDB would find a LOT of the titles that even amazon doesnt list.
other than that its functional, but clumsy to view track listings of cd's

And we use Amazon and freedb.org for information gathering because their service is free - as opposed to Gracenote CDDB which requires a fee.

One thing I did notice... after using the Scan CD feature a few times, the search became unresponsive. I had to quit CDPedia and relaunch it.
