I’m confident version 2.0 is going to kick proverbial butt! No doubt the developers are going to take Delicious Library’s features to even more amazing levels. You’ll note that I gave it a Very Nice rating, and don’t forget that this is still a version 1.x release. But do not think that I’m pooh-poohing Delicious Library. What I want to accomplish here is to point out three small issues that other reviews seemed to have overlooked.

Other reviews have even touched on the more subtle eye candy, such as the texture that is placed on top of DVD cover art to simulate that unmistakable slightly warped plastic that is so much a part of a physical case.īut I digress.

Information-packed details downloaded from Amazon, Internet Movie Database, etc.-check. Full-featured interface for managing who borrowed what from you-check.

iTunes playlist-like interface for various collections-check. Beautiful display of media cover art-check. Yet, as I prepared to start writing about it, I could truly come up with no description of its outstanding features that hasn’t already been said. Since I don’t have a living room the size of a Blockbuster Video store, a digital version is the best alternative. It’s exactly how I wish I could store my DVDs in real life. With Delicious Library, the bookshelf metaphor (the most blatant eye candy) really works. However, eye candy usually refers to interface elements that are pretty but not necessarily functional. Yes, “eye candy-and lots of it” was at the forefront of my initial opinion. So, I finally got my hands on the application to give it a try and I, like everyone else, was immediately stunned by the “wow” factor. Everyone and their mothers seem to have already reviewed it and everyone largely feels it’s the greatest thing since popcorn was first sold at movies. Zotero might be better choice for this.Admittedly, ATPM is a little late with a review of Delicious Library. NOTE: Calibre is IMO not that good for research papers although YMMV. I am sure its comming one day or you can implement samo mumbo-jumbo on your own. The only thing it doesn't have is in text search, but hey. Anybody not using it simply doesn't know better. Simply, there isn't anything better out there.

There are plugins to put kindle encrypted books offline ! along with my own classification on books that isn't merged with online stuff and is kept separatelly. I have personal tags such as `reading`, `must read` etc. You can both have online tags applied and your own tags. Awesome converter from-to number of formats You can have different libraries, groups, virtual libs etc. Audiobooks could be handled better but ok.

You can share via web server and access lib from browser and even add books from browser or simply copy them to special folder You can add arbitrary metadata and give them types (bool, text, urls.)
