Who needs this? - Paolo Cordone
What a nonsensical comment. From what you write you obviously don't own "thousands of CDs", or perhaps you do have thousands of the same one, or you have a phenomenal memory, since you do not even remotely recognise that having a cataloging application might be useful for, yes, cataloging purposes.I personally own thousands of CDs and also have them on shelves like you do. However, since I have so many that I cannot ever recall them all, it's nice to know that I can look up, for example, all the CPO releases, the Hyperions, all the dozens of versions of Bruckner's symphonies or Bach's partitas for solo violin and so on.
For people like me, DL is useful. For you it is evidently not, so don't use it, but stop denigrating its author for providing a system to enable collectors to catalogue their discs in a most attractive way (yes, it's slow, but so what?)

Who needs this? - ThereminBoy
I need this because I lend out my DVDs and books. I can see who has my stuff (and how long they've had it!).Tuesday, October 23 2007 @ 11:53 AM PDT

I just want to add. A number of years ago, my home was broke into and my entire DVD library was stolen. At that time, it was just over 100 discs. Trying to recall from memory each disc was a chore. Not every one had a receipt, and many didn't list the title. Now my collection has grown to over 300, and all I need to do is print a list for the insurance company. And it's complete, everything even games. Just point the iSight at the bar code...I love this software.

I'd rather have reviews of concept and execution based on the subjectivity of the reviewer rather than being fair and balanced. I can figure out the rest and not one review will prove anything in itself. I think functions and needs for the user that this application can cover could be made more clear.
As it is now I'm looking elsewhere. Much software these days is focused on the wrong stuff like a great display of stuff, which may be nice if the functions are full developed.

Who needs this? - rachelreiss
I need this. I have thousands of books, and hundreds of cds and movies, and since I live in an apartment, not only are my bookcases spread all over the place, about half of the items are behind others. Cataloging my collection is the only way I can find what I want.Wednesday, October 24 2007 @ 07:06 AM PDT
"Who needs this?" is not a fair comment - deemery
Not a fair comment:1. I have about 1k CDs myself, but I don't have the storage space to have them all lined up alphabetically. (Besides, how do you catalog them, particularly classical? By performer? By composer? What about albums with multiple composers and multiple performers?)
2. With respect to books, I don't know how many books I have, but they're spread all across the house.
A lot of the books I have don't have barcodes (particularly the antique railroad-related stuff), but for those that do, this is a convenience.
So if you don't need this app, that's OK. But denigrating it because you happen to have a different system is not particularly helpful.
