Mac OS X "Back in 2004, shortly before the release of Mac OS X Tiger, Delicious Library 1.0 arrived as a slick looking inventory cataloging application designed to manage listings of books, videos, albums and other media. This year, Delicious Library 2.0, currently in beta and scheduled for a March release, will deliver a major update by taking full advantage of features in the new Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Here's an exclusive preview."

"I've never really understood the point of these applications. Why would I want a virtual bookshelf of my CDs, DVDs, books etc when I can just turn around and look at my bookshelf filled with... CDs, DVDs and books.

Perhaps I'm missing some killer application of it.


I guess some people just think that anything can be made better by adding a computer to the mix ;)

On a more serious note these types of apps can have their use. If your collection is so large/your apartment so small that you need to keep some of your collection in storage in the attic, or if you have your collection spread out over several rooms (or even several houses), it's nice to still be able to check what you actually have and where you have it. I also know people who use these types of apps to keep track of whom they lend stuff to.

That being said this particular app seems to be mainly eye candy and not a serious inventory tool.

Welcome to the delicious generation.
