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. And, of course, that awesome scan feature that turns your iSight into a bar code scanner- check! Greyed-out icons for search hits that are already in your collection-check. Quick link to purchase items not already in your collection-check.

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.

Admittedly, ATPM is a little late with a review of Delicious Library.
