CD barcode scanner?

Hi

I have just been going through a "mountain" of my cd's, and it occured to me that like Itunes (catagarise,year,artist etc) is there anything on the market that can scan the barcode on a cd box, and take all the information, album/artist/genre etc and then place it in some kind of software then it can all be catalogued? Thus making it easy for me to sort CD's into some kind of sensible, traceable order.

Please move this into appropriate thred if this is in the wrong place.

Kind regards

Darren

I use Collectorz Music Collector. The bar code scanner is a hardware pen which can be used to scan in the barcode on the back of the cd . or DVD if oyu also have thier movie collector (or DVD profiler as I have).

however - its just as quick (for me ) to type in the barcode.

another however - the hit rate is only about 25% of the cds I have entered - it only hits on one site and once its picked up the title I then search again for the title.

just as quick to enter artist/album title

Try OrangeCD Suite. You can scan by UPC code, manually entering the cd or it will read the disc from your cd/dvd rom. It looks at about 4 different websites and is quite successful in locating the info, you can also add the covers for the cd, too. I think the licence will set you back about US$35. I very nice program; just Google it and you can try it for 30 days.

For Mac users, ther's the fairly new "delicious library". I think it will be pretty good, and I will be trying it out. It does CD's, DVD's, books and video games. The bluetooth barcode scanner sounds cool. Saves you taking the CD's over to your computer.

Also syncs the library on your ipod so you don't buy the same book/CD again by mistake!

old thread i know.

However, is there a software program, that like Itunes rips and\catalogues music. Other software prgrams mentioned only catalgue music. It would be nice to scroll album pic covers and then pick on a track?

kind regards

Darren
