OK - As you know I've been using Booxter to keep a library of all my books, and it is quite good. I'm currently at 550 books cataloged right now which is about half of our collection and I think "Man, wouldn't it be great to be able to do this with CD's, DVDs, Games etc?"

Well - I can. I've recently discovered Delicious Library which does just that - and the best part is I can import my book lists from Booxter into it. In a nutshell, you can use a scanner to scan in a UPC and it will go out to Amazon and download all the pertinant information. It then adds it all sexy-like into a bookshelf display - or a liner display much like the looks of iTunes.

Like booxter, you can also use it to keep track of an items location - such as the bookshelf in the livingroom or plastic tote #3 for easy location of the item.

It will also keep track of borrowed items as well - with a name, date borrowed, date due and E-mail address of the borrower. There are also neat hacks that will take the xml file that Delicious Library uses to store data and convert it into HTML so one can post their collections up on the web.

I'm excited as I feel a great practical use of this program - other than the glaringly obvious application - is in case anything bad happens to our stuff, it will make submitting an insurance claim that much easier as we will have a pretty detailed inventory of what we had.
