And they are far more active with implementing features than the Delicious crew.. seriously what were they doing for three years?? And what happened to the sharing/social networking stuff they talked about earlier? (I was looking forward to that)

P.S. However, floods and fires can occur and the list of your (destroyed) DVDs, CDs, books, etc. may come handy.

A nice addition to DL2+ would be the ability to scan a bar code, and even if the item is not on Amazon, have the ability to enter your own information. Or use the camera to snap a picture and enter your own information. For example a wine collection, or whatever.

And no, I’ve never had someone break-in and steal all my CDs. I think a thief would much rather grab my Mac than 1,000 CD jewel cases.

For those outside the US, not a lot to say, not all apps are going to be made in all languages. Most developers will, after all, develop apps either in their own language or in a language that will deliver a return on their time.

Since I had DL, have been waiting for quite some time for them to fix the print overlaying one on top of the other and not being able to read a thing in the info pane as you would move from one selection to the other on the shelf. Well, as the review stated, they fixed it alright – they removed it.

Although that issue is now gone, going to a stacked design is a real backward step. I think they must have forgotten that almost all screens are widescreens today. If you want to be able to read the info pane of a selection without scrolling, you have to size it such that you now only have one shelf visible. You want multiple shelves visible – well get use to scrolling to be able to read the info pane. What a pain!!

They incorporated Leopard features? Where’s coverflow view?

There are some pretty neat things they have added. auto importing all your itunes collection is pretty cool. All the multiple types of shelves if you want to keep a database for insurance, or direct link to sell on Amazon – those are pretty nice also.

If you’re looking for something to showcase, your DVD collection for example: you might try also downloading DVDpedia and comparing both before you lay out your $$. They both have a free trial, so check ‘em out.

I’m not saying it’s no good, but it was severely disappointing and far, far less satisfying than all of Shipley’s hype implied. Try it for yourself, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself wondering what all the fuss is about. Some will find it adequate and workable; the more anal-retentive among us (guilty!) will want a far more powerful tool for inventorying their digital media, books, CDs and DVDs. And tools.

The new version can track pretty much anything now (not just books, movies, music and games) so using it for an insurance database is pretty compelling.

I agree that the previous 3 vertical pane layout is better than the current layout. The older layout worked much better on my widescreen laptop.
