Booxter Lite Overview
What is Booxter Lite? Booxter Lite is a free app for Mac that helps users track their collections of books, music, movies, and comics. It has three viewing modes, including list, filter, and tag, and allows users to scan barcodes using their iSight video camera, Bluetooth barcode scanner, or USB barcode scanner. The app can search many different online sources, and users can create dynamic, intelligent lists to keep track of their collections easily. Booxter Lite also allows users to import from comma or tab-delimited text files and export to a variety of formats, including CSV, XML, HTML, BibTeX, and more. The app is localized in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese.

For all modern collections, OK
I downloaded the Lite version as a way of checking out the full application. I own a lot of books without bar codes, or even ISBNs. But the search feature on Booxter seems limited to searching by ISBN or LCCN (Library of Congress Catalog number). As a result, 2 of the 3 books I tried to enter as a trial required me to manually enter title, author, etc. By contrast, Delicious Library allowed search by just title and got all three books correct immediately. Based on the fact that I have a lot of old used books, I couldn't really recommend this program very strongly. It would take me forever to enter my collection. What's nice is that it does search the Library of Congress (but again, only with numbers).
ITunes-like software for Books, Movies, etc
Ive been looking for years for an iTunes-like software that can help me organize ALL my media (not just music). This software does just that. It excels for books and movies. Booxter still needs better comic book capabilities, but despite that, it is an amazing program - a new standard, really
Doesn't work or doesn't work well
I tried setting up a comic book library. After using the scan from camera funciton, I have 3 invisible comics in my library. All the same book. I can't see any books, but it assures me there are three in my library. Then I figured I'd give the program a fair chance and I also created a books library. It got the first book completely wrong. I was hoping this would be the app to finally help with my comics and was prepared to buy the full version if the Lite worked well. But it didn't. So… I'm done. Deleted. Moving on.
This is what I've been looking for!
Great trial version, hit the 30 entry limit before I knew it. Had some issues initially with scanning barcodes via iSight, but found I was holding the code too close to the camera. Worked much better and faster once I held it farther back. Works great in conjunction with the free iPhone app for scanning!
