Fortunately, Librarian Pro works with Amazon Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, German and France, and the database is fully UTF-8 compatible spanning both Mac and Windows systems. Speaking of staying organized, Librarian Pro can also display a panel of contacts from Address Book to show you who borrowed what, when and how many.Īnother cool new feature takes Amazon integration one step further by allowing you to shop the site from within Librarian Pro, immediately adding anything you purchase to your collection. Users will be able to create smart collections for organizing their stuff any way they please, and Librarian Pro allows for multiple media databases to help keep different collections separate (say, one for your home stuff and another for your work-related books and software). In fact, it can scan your hard drive (I assume both Macs and PCs) to automatically catalog your software.

While its standard UI doesn't look quite as flashy as Delicious Library's (though it features a 'Gallery mode' that displays everything by cover art that the company hasn't posted a screenshot for), Librarian Pro allows users to catalog PC hardware and software in addition to books, movies, music and games.
Koingo Software's upcoming Librarian Pro for Windows and Mac will bring some interesting new features to the media cataloging table. Click on my book Link below and you will see a Bookpedia version of the photography books in my library.Watch out Delicious Library, you finally have some competition on the way.

In aggregate, the cost of these two applications is less than DL which integrates the movie and book cataloging functions.

Download is very fast.Ī related product from the same vendor – Bookpedia – does the same thing for your book collection. You can see my library online in one of the many export formats by clicking the Link at the bottom of the page. ‘Location’ refers to the movie’s number for easy retrievalĪpple’s superb Coverflow view is a built-in option if you use OS Leopard You really do not want to have to reenter everything manually if you have as many movies as I do – some 500 and counting. And, best of all, it’s very fast, far easier to use than DL (it’s as fast as OS X’s Finder) and has an import function to bring in all your Delicious Library movies. The old iMac, no speed demon with a 1 gHz G4 CPU, is perfect for this sort of thing.Īlong comes DVDpedia which not only offers a host of export formats, it also permits dynamic syncing with your iPhone once you download the related application to your phone. Networking is important in my setup as the database is maintained on the office MacBook and then shared with the old iMac in the bar, where movies are looked up.
Add the fact that you cannot network your DL data unless all networked computers use OS Leopard and I was ready for a change. When the new iPhone software was announced the other day it was immediately obvious that DL’s creators had dropped the ball and failed to deliver a capable iPhone export. Movies are filed in numerical order – to arrange by title is futile in a growing library, as you will be constantly rearranging things.įor the past few years I have been using Delicious Library to do the database work but have become increasingly disappointed with its poor export capabilities and general slowness. In my case each DVD is labelled on the spine with a sequential number and that number is recorded as the location in the database. As is clear from yesterday’s journal entry, movies are an important source of ideas for my photographs so it’s important that all those DVDs are properly cataloged for easy retrieval. I believe it’s important for any photographer to manage his sources of inspiration, be they books, magazines or movies.
