Delicious Library – No Aussie support 🙁
Delicious Library Seems to be an excellent little product to catalouge your music, dvd and book collection via manual entering of Barcodes, Searching or Scanning of barcode. It seems to rely heavily on Amazon for getting of pricing and book information, it does seem however that Aussies will be left out in the cold with…
