Cataloging media - books, CDs, DVDs

[Tom Buskey]

I looked into this once upon a time.

<http://alexandria.rubyforge.org/>http://periapsis.org/tellico/

Someone mentioned http://www.gcstar.org/
http://www.tuxradar.com/content/best-linux-collection-managers-compared

I thought I had more bookmarks.  They must be in delicio.us somewhere.

http://isbntools.com/ has useful info on the cuecat.  I tried a cuecat but
it wasn't that reliable for me.  Nowadays there are iphone/android apps
that use the camera to read barcodes.  I suspect there are ones that can
use a webcam too.

And if you have/do ebooks, there's http://calibre-ebook.com/ which is more
like itunes with multiple formats of the content.

There is also curation software.  For a museum to manage a collection (that
might have digital pieces).
