Delicious Library allows you to import, browse, and share all your books, movies, music and video games with Delicious Library.

Run your very own library from your home or office using our impossibly simple interface. Delicious Library's digital shelves act as a visual card-catalog of your books, movies, music and video games.

A scan of a barcode is all Delicious Library needs to add an item to your digital shelves, downloading tons of info from the internet like the author, release date, current value, description, and even a high-resolution picture of the cover.
What's New
Version 2.7.6:
  • Fixed a crasher with USB barcode scanning (introduced in 2.7.5, sorry we’re dumb!)
  • Fixed a crasher when changing import settings (introduced in 2.0… sorry it took so long!)
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

I thinks it more than time to add a eBook Reader on this app!

I can't believe I am getting the update of Delicious Library. I can't remember the last update before this. Thank you for remembering us. By the way, please resubmit your iPhone app to appstore.

The iPhone app was removed due to conflicts with Amazon and their mobile terms. It likely won't ever be back.

It has nothing to do with Steve Jobs. It's between Delicious Monster and Amazon.

I missed the app to, because it's not so helpfully to have the lib only on the Mac. It would be much better to have it on the iPhone / iPad too, to manage the stuff.
And the problem with amazon is bad, Yes. But amazon is not the only source to collect infos for movies. There are other sources available like IMDB.
For example: The app "Movies" existing for all iOS devices and there are a Mac Version available for free too (Or for pro users a pro-version).

The real story behind the "Amazon deal" in delicious is, that all Items are linked with amazon. You can buy Movies directly over Delicious if you like and each time who you do that, you spend a little money to the developer. I know, that is not really unfair, because the app is quit good... But it's not longer the best and only solution to manage your Movie library. Same and more features existing on other Apps to.

I never thought it would be so easy to get an inventory of my whole library. I imagined it would take me ages to list all the books but no! I only have to type the ISBN, and the application automatically finds the right book.
It even works with books in foreign languages. I am so glad!

Scan books, music, products; app classifies automatically.
Loads scans near-instantaneously in real time when in Bluetooth range.
Still best in class interface.
No fussing with windows or buttons in app to scan; just set up and go. Best in class integration with Bluetooth bar code readers.
Jan 2010 update makes program rock stable.
If you have lots of items to inventory (selling stuff when moving; insurance inventories), this is the one to get. Much easier and faster in scanning than others in class.

Once the most beautiful and promissing app for Mac, the iSight camera codebar scan is a must, it goes to internet to find metadata, the disign is very well done, and Apple Inc has copy it as others, but it seems developping stopped, Internet Auto Data only happends when ISDN code exists, it has no conversion format tools, like pdf to epub etc that would be useful to read in a ebook reader etc, it very limited in what it can do, and when I found the FREE and open source Calibre app, I just stopp using Delicious Library, Calibre even if not C native mac app, is quite fast and does lot more, conversion to epub, it reads almost every format, pdf, doc, text, epub, djvu, and many more, also can make a web server for your books, so you can download from anywhere, and the list goes, I wish Delicious was like that... pity

But... Calibre is an ebook library, where you store your ebooks. Delicious Library is a book (and other media) catalog, where you store information about your books, not the books themselves. They're a little too different to compare.

How would you even save a reference to a paper book in Calibre?

Do you guys have a problem with reviews in Delicious Library?
I'd assume that since 2.6.3 it stopped downloading reviews for any new item (a book, etc) ...
Do you have a solution anybody ?

This is a quote from a reply that DL2 staff supplied some months ago through the GetSatisfaction site:
"Amazon changed some things in how we're allowed to access data and while there is still a "reviews" tab in Delicious Library (which doesn't really function right now), we'll be getting rid of it in future versions."

Great for every collector of DVDs, Books, ...

Everything with a barcode on it. You can simply scan the barcode with your webcam and this software searches all details in the web.

but I'm missing an iPhone-App for this software.

If you're like me and tend to forget which movies and books you already own, you'll love this program. Let it make a nice webpage showing your stuff and you'll never end up with two of the same DVDs again :-)
I have few problems with books not found, only very rare volumes have to be entered manually.

Never make it hard for people to give you money. I guess I just saved myself $40.

achim2 had trouble on 06 Apr 2009
The built-in cam in the iMac works fine - but the "old" external iSight is even faster for recognition. There was only one of my DVDs that I couldn't get to work, even with lots of trying.

Also works fine with german DVDs and books, so the critics below that say it wont work outside of the USA must be old reports for previous versions.

What bugs me and will probably lead to me not using it any more eventually: the program tries to get into my personal login keychain on every startup (and I have to forbid it every time) - what the heck does it want with my login data?

Delicious Library allows you to import, browse, and share all your books, movies, music and video games with Delicious Library.

Run your very own library from your home or office using our impossibly simple interface. Delicious Library's digital shelves act as a visual card-catalog of your books, movies, music and video games.

A scan of a barcode is all Delicious Library needs to add an item to your digital shelves, downloading tons of info from the internet like the author, release date, current value, description, and even a high-resolution picture of the cover. Import your entire library using our exclusive full-speed iSight video barcode scanner, our Flic� Wireless Laser Bar Code Scanner, or (the slow way) entering the titles by hand. Once you have all of your items in your Mac, you can browse though your digital shelves, check stuff out to friends using Apple's built-in Address Book and calendar, and find new items to read, watch, and play using Library's recommendations.

Quickly importing your stuff into Delicious Library doesn't require a dedicated barcode scanner - you can use any QuickTime�-supported digital video camera, like your Apple iSight. Just hold the barcode on the back of any book, movie, CD, or video game in front of the camera and your item magically shows up on your digital shelf seconds later. Using the same technology found in $800 industrial-strength CCD barcode scanners, Delicious Library reads every single frame of digital video; seeking out, targeting, and instantly decoding any visible barcodes. This results in a seamless process of scanning that lets you import about 750 items an hour (assuming you can move your arms that fast). At that rate the staff of the new downtown Seattle Central Library could work together to import all of their 1.4 million books into Delicious Library in just over 5 hours.
