I now have my dual 2 G5, and anew 19in monitor (not Apple... spent all my money on the comp, the screen is a cheapey).... I was hoping I would get my G5 before Library came out... and I have.... So Now Release Library!
as everyone else is saying... please dear god release it!
What happens for DVDs that on Amazoin.com the cover image has other information like copyright information. I am thinking of the Return of the King extended edition cover that has studio information on it.

Or what about that of a TV on DVD boxset that shows the disks and the artwork?
I'm beginning to wonder if this is about as real as CherryOS. That's a joke. I kid the Delicious Monster. Don't want a F-off from Mike. Can't wait to get my hands on it, and to see what's next.
Wow...I've been reading up on the features and I'm fuckin' impressed with this app's integration with Apple apps and the hardware.
Everyone knows there will be iSight scanning. Everyone knows you can also buy a Flic? Wireless Laser Scanner. But the cool part is that the scanner remembers 500 barcodes and imports them into Library 3.0 when you're back in range if you happened to be out of range when scanning your belongings. That's frickin' awesome.
Dragging items from your shelf to Mail creates an e-mail with a pre-formatted message urging your friends to get said item. Neat.
The most original feature though is the checkout process. You're lending a book or DVD to someone? Drag the item onto his Address Book card (or name?) and Library 3.0 automatically marks it as lent and sets the due-date in iCal.
iPod syncing...cool. Printing...cool. Live-searching...Panther and Tiger cool.
Voice searching? Übercool!
All this plus built-in Amazon shopping and recommendations.
It's like the iTMS for the rest of your life.
This app is pretty much essential to everyone that has Mac OS X. The quality and features of this app seem to be mind-boggling. Everyone has books and music CDs. Most people have DVDs and a lot of people have computer games also.
Most people have so many of these that managing it all is almost impossible. How would you know if someone took one of your music CDs out of your 200 CD collection?
Even if you're not into managing your collection, if you're someone that likes to buy stuff off Amazon, this is the app.
If you're living with a sister that pretty much grabs your movies without your permission and you don't realize it until you look at a list of stuff you own (this is were Library 3.0 shines for me), and realize you actually own the Simpsons Season 4 DVDs but they're not physically in your bookshelf, you can go slap your sister real hard and take those DVDs back. This alone will be worth whatever Delicious Monster charges for this app. I'll finally know what movies my sister is sneaking into her room and forgetting to tell me.
If I can make only one suggestion, I'd say release the app now and save some features for version 2.0. Afterall, it's been a month.
hey, here's a suggestion to the gang from someone who doesn't really own a lot of CDs/DVDs/Books (well, not recent ones)... couldn't this interface also work really well for things YOU check out from OTHER places?
think about it... if i go to blockbuster, or gets movies from netflix, or go to the public or school library... bring it home, scan in the codes, and type in when they are due back at their destination (or, of course, select it in ical). hmmm... for instance, my blockbuster library says i have four things checked out, two games, two movies, and one's due tomorrow... integrate it with ical and mail to notify you at work so you can stop there on your way home... the mind BOGGLES with the possibilities of an nice polished super-graphic-goodness databse app like this.
you have NO IDEA how much money that would have saved me in overdue charges alone back in college.
well, maybe this would be better saved for library 3.5 or 4.0, but i'll throw it out there anyway.
It does look like a breakthrough app. Further down the road, it seems to me, the core of this might morph into some other delicious apps as well. The Monster is downright tasty.
I see this program is $40.00 with the optional barcode scanner for $175.00....will Library be bundled with the purchase or will it be an additional $40.00 on top of that?

Back... I couldn't see anything at the website....TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!
iDunno you might need to refresh. I can see on the website that it clearly states 14 days.
Nice. And EXTREMELY nice of them to price it at $40 after all the responses on this thread that supported a price of $50. I can't wait!
I can see the 14 days part... but I certainly can't see anywhere showing a price.
BTW I like the fact that you can download their vCards. I only like this fact because I am an Address Book demon! This is especially good for if ever they want to borrow something from my Library 3.0
It shouldn't be trembling too much with a mere $39.95 price tag.
Of course, if you go for the scanner, then you'll take a hit. Although I used the beta version with my mini-DV camcorder and Library worked well with it. The real trick is to get the UPC bars to be perpendicular to the 'laser' lines shown in the display window on your monitor. I found it would take about 3-5 seconds for Library to recognize the bar code once I got the UPC bars properly aligned.

maybe the next version could have network sharing so multiple people could look up the same information...
and i'm very keen to have amazon UK integration in as soon as possible

Yeah it's a great price, I just hope the price for the scanner includes Library!
