When I was a kid, I begged my parents to line the walls of my room with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. I loved collecting books, and it was my early teenage dream to catalogue everything on my Motorola Mac clone (Starmax 3000 FTW!) so I could run a privately owned lending library for my peers out of, well, my parents' house. Back then, I was relegated to creating a giant list of books in a text file along with their ISBNs, basic descriptions, and current lending status—certainly no cover photos—that I would send out to friends via e-mail.
What I wouldn't have given back then for software like Delicious Library. An OS X application first released by Delicious Monster nearly a decade ago, Delicious Library has been a useful tool to those who become obsessive about cataloging their books, DVDs, CDs, and even video games. The software has evolved some throughout the years—Delicious Library 2 is quite popular nowadays, despite some of its initial drawbacks—leading to pretty eager anticipation for the release of Delicious Library 3.
That day has now arrived. Nearly five years after the release of DL2, Delicious Library 3 is available to the public via the Mac App Store. Briefly previewed by MacRumors earlier this week, some users have already seen what the new DL3 has to offer. We here at Ars have been using it for several weeks and took the opportunity to chat with creator Wil Shipley about what went into DL3 and what lessons he learned from it.
